Bloomberg says, "Thanks, but no thanks"

From the Daily News:

Hizzoner opposes all 16 bills the Council introduced after holding an unprecedented eight hearings following the devastating Dec. 26, 2010, blizzard.

Among the Council bills is a measure to suspend meter collections whenever there's enough snow to suspend alternate side parking.

Other proposals would require the city to shovel bus shelters and pedestrian crossings, force the administration to call a snow emergency when amid whiteout conditions and release more details about which streets get plowed first.

During a hearing on the measures Wednesday, Bloomberg operations director Liz Weinstein ticked off a long list of reasons why each bill wasn't necessary.

The mayor is already implementing a 15-point plan that he says is sufficient to avoid the perilous mistakes that left streets unplowed for days and ambulances stranded in snow banks.

But as Weinstein testified against each of the 16 bills, Council members looked incredulous.

Other members railed that the insights they gleaned from hours of talking to their constituents had been ignored.

Bloomturd is as slimey as the bottom of my shoes after I walk from Union Street to Main Street on Roosevelt Avenue!!! It's unfortunate that no one on the city council has the chutzpah to challenge him! Isn't Democracy grand?

It feels like he's not just ambivalent. He actively despises us.

Is anyone shocked that Bloomberg would react like this?

You can say that again!

Oh come on. I'm just a regular guy. I put my silk man panties on just like everyone else. Yellow in the front and brown in the rear. See? How can that be elite?

For Christ Sake!

These are the same jerks that helped him overturn the public's wishes for a third term - now they need to interview their constituents to get insights into the storm?

Why didn't just open their front doors and look down the street?

Hell, if you get elected with 90% of the vote you must be doing something great, right?

Not.

Bloomberg is a creation of those dumb f*ks on city council.

YEAH, and the insight meetings were also held at 1pm during a work day, especially in Danny Boys district. I guess he had to meet with Sanitation Ghosts first. Yet no one said anything.

I can't wait to boo this bum if he's brave enough to march in the St. Patrick's Day Parade.

Not that he will, the coward doesn't like going places where people can't be easily bought.

Bloomberg 3rd term is illegal and he should be booted out of office.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3TR9FQ5JwA My new tube on Mike Bloomberg. Bloomberg and his mini-me belong in jail. How is the Quinn slush fund investigation going? Slower than a turtle moving through molasses yet her legal bills soaring.

Not likely. And I use $100 bills to wipe my ass. Gonna make something of it?

I didn't think so, losers!
