From mole333 at The Daily Gotham:
This is what really gets me. Bloomberg, the city council and Albany give more and more tax breaks to developers, companies like Exxon/Mobil and Bank of America pay no taxes, and our politicians spend our tax money on slush funds that then turn around and help them get elected. And all the while, our schools, libraries, firehouses, parks and hospitals get cut more and more. I have never heard Bloomberg say we need to give less to Developers and more to our schools and hospitals.
And for each hospital that closes, that puts further pressure on the surviving hospitals. And as long as we have a substantial number of uninsured, our emergency rooms will be overcrowded with people whose only healthcare option is the emergency room. This cycle leads to more closings, which overburdens the surviving hospitals more, bringing them down. Healthcare reform, going even further than what we already have enacted, is still needed. But we also need some politicians that realize that cutting hospitals, schools, libraries and firehouses will lead to a dysfunctional city.
That's 100% correct. So why do we keep the same tired old shit in office?

And Quinn is running for mayor. Quinn has a staff of people (the "Community Affairs Unit") already working hard to ensure that she is elected Mayor in 2013.
WE MUST ALL UNITE TO MAKE SURE CHRISTINE QUINN, THE FUCKING ANIMAL HATER, IS NEVER ELECTED TO OFFICE AGAIN. WE MUST ELIMINATE HER LIKE THE TURD THAT SHE IS.
Sure look how everyone in Astoria are acting like compelete assholes withn it comes to Sletvana Mimosa or whatever the hell her name is:
http://www.astorians.com/community/index.php?topic=17670.0
Appointed by a batch of hacks running the community into the ground and all people can say is,
" She is great " without the slightest degree of support ... well then do quote the glowing tributes written by hack staffers working for the local pols as in community newspapers as evidence supporting their postion.

Autopilot dipshits that goes a long way to explaining why we have these people in office.
You hit the nail on the head with paragraph one. Tax breaks to large business and to developers is Bloomberg's modus operandi. How can this be justified in these times of crisis? And, all these groups become interconnected, at a level that is distant from you and me. We, the people, are shoved aside in all of this as Bloomberg puts in place a permanent government, a stream of power and influence that will extend far beyond his term. This is an end run around democracy and home rule. Why is this allowed? NO tax breaks to businesses.
