Bloomberg believes in Democracy


From NY1:

"It's sad, there are young men and women for 235 years who have been fighting and dying so that we have the right to vote, and yet you saw in the Democratic primary, especially in the runoff a very low turnout."

How about the fact that there are young men and women for 235 years who have been fighting and dying so that when the people vote in a referendum their vote will not be undone by a despotic billionaire who really wanted to be president but will take a third term as mayor as a consolation prize?

Above: Bloomberg at the Onderdonk House talking about how important it is to preserve the character of our neighborhoods. "And we are doing it" he says.

Heh.

He says we live in a "mixture" while other cities live in a "mosaic". However, Dinkins said we live in a "great mosaic". Doctors in London blew up the subway because, according to Bloomberg, "London is a mosaic". No one will blow up NYC because it is a "mixture"? "Mixture"? "Mosaic"?
What in hell is he talking about?

If Manhattan wasnt flooded with sheeple born into money this lying sack bloomberg wouldn't get away with the things he says or does like closing firehouses which is never justifiable especially in this city.
Comfortable coddled people are not the most inquisitive people usually.

How can Paul Kerzner take money from Waste Management for the Onderdonk House then be expected to negotiate with them about the transfer site? It's a blatant conflict of interest and not only that, they should have a Maspeth person doing the talking.
