Bloomberg sending lawyers after vendors

From the Daily News:

Mayor Bloomberg is creating a hot dog squadron to chase down filthy sidewalk food vendors who skip out on paying their health code fines.

The vast majority of street vendors never pay up when they’re fined for bugs in their food, blocking the sidewalk or allowing other unsafe conditions.

And the worst scofflaws change their business names, illegally lease out their carts, or use other schemes to avoid paying their bills.

So Bloomberg’s latest budget proposal calls for a seven-person team of lawyers to track down street-meat scofflaws and make them pay.

The team will cost $580,000 a year, but Health Department officials expect them to collect at least that much in fines and pay for themselves.

Here goes "nasty nanny" Bloomfart--
blowing in the wind again--our tax dollars at work!

Hey Mike--if NYC badly needs more revenue--why not go after notorious developers who DO NOT PAY their fires?

Is hizzoner seeking revenge from eating a bad hot dog from a street vendor?

What is the city waiting for on this one.The tenant and landlord owe the city a lot of money. The city will never get paid and the law abiding homeowners who live around the store continue to get screwed.

Just because Bloomberg got a case of the runs from an old hot dog, is no reason to send out the lawyers.

Can you imagine that little 5 foot 7 inch "scheiser"... with cramps on the toilet bowl...screaming at corporation counsel on his cell phone...to go after that Sabrett street vendor he bought his onion chili dog from?

And, regarding notorious developers...
go after Tommy Huang & Sons.

They've been screwing NYC out of collecting fines since the mid 1980s!

skip on a few hundred dollars in fines, and get a task-force after you. skip out on millions in fees, taxes, and penalties if you are a CEO of a major NYC company, no problem.

When are they going after the taco trucks?

Mayor Moneybags is doing everything he can to "sanitize" NYC. The suburbanization of the city continues.

Get rid of the street vendors, small businesses, poor, middle class, affordable housing and anything else that doesn't fit into Moneybag's luxury city.

So let me get this straight — you posters don't think the city should go after people selling dirty food or blocking sidewalks?

Aren't some of you the same busybody geezers who think you should scratch up cars that block sidewalks and who rail about the vendors blocking them in Flushing?

And you, Larry Flint?, I suppose you eat through your ears?

Bloomberg's an ass, but he's more than outmatched by a lot of you.

Send FDNY inspectors after Bllomberg and his biking partner Khan. Bring them up on charges of endangering the public safety by plopping down those nonsensical pedestrian sitting areas in the middle of a congested city.

Nevermind the vendors,,, what about the rats?

Larry Flint said...

No,
I push my "dogs" directly up my ass for nourishment.

Speaking of "asses",
do you know who Larry Flint is, gramps?

Bloomberg wants to create Disneyland New York...
no doubt, complete with replacing it's architectural gargoyles...with placid saint like Hummel figures.

He's simply a spoiled child, who glares at those who criticize his bratty behavior. It's either Mike's way or no way!

Money can't buy you everything, your "honor".
You might have bought your office but you can't buy New York.

It's too big, even for your bankroll.

New York has got a mind and soul of its own.

It will survive your vain attempts at controlling it's unique character.

Until then we are all counting the days until your term is finally over.

What about the POLITICAL rats?
Only you voters can EXTERMINATE them!

Bloomberg's concern
is ONLY for the appearance of Manhattan's
tourist corridor. It should be as neat as his pinhead.

Flushing's woes...it's street vendors, and so forth...
are, and will remain, invisible to him.

Use what brains you have, you old geezer!

There won't be any code enforcement in Queens' "Chinatown". The city won't offend its Asian voters.

At least spell his name right:

Larry Flynt

Larry (sic) Flint said...

Now I know you're an "olde tymer" if you remember the proper spelling of Larry Flynt, George.

I'm his cousin. We use the "I" instead of the "Y".

Bloomtard is actually doing something I agree with! The Anon poster below beat me to it:

Flint, ya dope, I'm 41. Guess I could be a gramps, but I'm not.

What's it like to see a picture of the mayor eating a hot dog and think of getting head?
