After facing criticism for having a campaign website that is short on policy details, Republican candidate for Mayor Joe Lhota is preparing to release a policy book. Meanwhile, Democratic candidate Bill de Blasio picked up an endorsement Wednesday from the city's firefighters union. NY1's Grace Rauh filed the following report.

Joseph Lhota has spent much of the week talking about his Democratic rival in the mayor's race, Bill de Blasio.

"There's no doubt he wants to redistribute wealth," Lhota said. "His whole purpose of taxing the rich is for redistributing wealth."

Lhota has tried to portray De Blasio as a leftist radical who is taking his cues from a "Marxist playbook." Despite those attacks, the Republican candidate said he wants to talk about issues and explain to the public where he stands on them.
