We're still paying for Bloomberg's negligence

From the Daily News:

Gail Radvin waited nearly an hour for an ambulance after she suffered a heart attack in her Forest Hills apartment while her daughters frantically dialed 911, the lawsuit says.

Radvin, 73, was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital, a half hour after an ambulance arrived, according to the lawsuit filed in Queens Supreme Court.

The lawsuit is among a handful of wrongful death claims — most filed in Brooklyn and Queens — accusing the city of a woeful response to the Dec. 26, 2010, snowstorm.

Hundreds of city residents have already collected payouts for damage done to their cars and homes by snow plows.

The city's slow response was directly due to the fact that the city was left with no one in charge. Bloomberg and his top deputies were all out of town. A snow emergency was not declared until it was too late and the plows could not keep up with the snowfall. I guess the troll that keeps trying to post that it was not Bloomberg who was responsible has conveniently forgotten these facts and that the resulting investigations that found that there was no slowdown. Knock it off.

And why was Bloombag out of town? He was cheking on the status of his offshore accounts which are filled with the proceeds Mr. $1 a year has wired to him by the shady contractors, publishers,developers and charter school operators he regularly approves no bid contracts for. City Time, anyone? Cathy Black? Willets Point? Atlantic Yards? West Side Stadium? NYU's appropriation of most of Greenwich Village?
Snowstorm lawsuit payouts are just the tip of the iceberg for what we're indebted for due to Bloombag, for decades to come!

I AM GLAD CITY COUNCIL THOUGHT HE WAS GOOD ENOUGH TO OVERTURN TERM LIMITS.

THEY ARE HIS ENABLER AND AS RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS FAULTS AS HE IS.
