MANCHESTER -- Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani said that Executive Councilor Ray Wieczorek (R-Manchester) will be remembered in Granite State politics for his ability to build the Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester.

"The Verizon Wireless Arena is one of his greatest achievements because it's one of those things that's a profile-in-courage, in the sense that he took a great risk in his political career, it hurt for awhile," Giuliani said. "Now in retrospect it looks like everyone agrees he made the right decision even the people who were attacking him back then."
