Curtis Sliwa considering a run for city public advocate

Friday, November 16th 2007, 4:00 AM

He's about to be booted off his morning radio gig in favor of Don Imus, but Curtis Sliwa is thinking about his next job - a run for city public advocate, the Daily News has learned.

If he wins the 2009 race, Sliwa says he will do the booting.

"My first day of office would be to tell everyone to pack up and go to the employment line because there is no more public advocate," Sliwa told the Brooklyn Young Republicans at Peggy O'Neill's in Bay Ridge.

"This is a declaration of war, and the battle must begin," he said. "This is a useless position, and we are just wasting taxpayer money."

It's not the first time a candidate has vowed to abolish the office. Candidate Jim Lesczynki was trounced in 2005 by a margin of 745,035 to 17,034.
