Penn Station redevelopment sets off de Blasio-Cuomo feud


From PIX11:

In the shadows of Madison Square Garden, a storied boxing mecca, there's a political brawl between New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio going on over the future of the Penn Station.

It's now entering "the championship rounds" after plans leaked of Governor Cuomo’s proposed re-envisioning of the neighborhood surrounding Penn. The plans did not appear to include input from his de Blasio or other local and community officials.

I can't wait to celebrate when both bozos are out of office.

Just a vaudeville dance act to detract attention from how both are fucking NYC.
LEARN TO VOTE WISELY!
That's our only effective weapon against crooked politicians'

The Matilda Cuomo-Penn Station has a nice ring to it. Or perhaps Andy Boy will name it after himself. What low-life.

They fight, we suffer. Cuomo will screw over the City just to hurt a Mayor we don't want and didn't vote for.

Alas, the City and State of New York are entrenched in so many decades of rotting corruption, graft and endless greed, that it will never be a functioning, world class city ever again——if ever it was in the first place.

The worst part is that We, the People have been massively overburdened (by endless taxes, as well as 'taxation WITHOUT representation), by two arrogant, lawless thugs named Bill de BLASS-hole (and his wife, Chirlane, who believes that she is a publicly elected when she isn't), and 'Gargoyle Andy' of the dynastic criminal Cuomo enterprise, both of whom now DEVALUE honesty itself. Honest, ethical leadership (that leads by example), this is not. But, not a criminal indictment in sight for either of these unfunny circus clowns, much less two pair of handcuffs for both of these free walking, Mafia ruling henchmen of epic, humanitarian (and ecological) fail.

In conclusion, New York State is a padded cell that even surpasses the gridlock and cesspool of corruption in BrainWashington, D. C., where it's only getting worse by the hour before all hell finally breaks loose. Get out of this archaic bureaucracy of life sucking depravity whilst you still can, fellow New York City hostages! As long as these two empowered idiots (and their equally crooked administrations) remain in power, then no one will be living freely, much less happily and healthily.

Finally, no one will ever solve inequality within a monetary system. It is designed to CREATE it—NOT SOLVE it, AND no one has ever CHANGED the MAFIA by JOINING IT!

And the comment is spot on about this horrible fucking city that I have watched get worse and worse every year I have been here (and especially with the complete take over of Bloomberg and complete lies of deBlasio who got elected on the basis of the
"Tale of Tale Cities", that he himself has made worse:

"then no one will be living freely, much less happily and healthily".

How many of us really happy and healthy from living in this cesspool of rampant hyper over-development, majorly crowded busting the seams, lawlessness and the poorest quality of life even though we pay the highest taxes shit of all shit cities. Many of us are just buying time till retirement since we are close to it (me, less than five years) to high tail it out of and never look back, that is unless we die before them for the high amount of stress in this SHCITY.

These two are ass clowns turning their elected positions into parodies. This feud is as legitimate as anything Vince McMahon ever produced.

The longer they are in office the more the city and state will careen into a new depression.

Anonymous X (the one who began with alas) above said all that needs to be said about Marios'son and bill de bastard and the government dysfunction they have exacerbated from the past 40 plus years and caused in their current terms.

If there is any delightful irony in this recent spat, is that de Faustio didn't bat a lash when REBNY was calling the shots for the forced gentrification inclusionary zoning the targeted towns communities didn't want and the demented decision to upzone midtown for more atmosphere busting skyscrapers, yet they are going bananas over Cuomo's budgetary dick move for penn station. But Andy probably wants city money to finance his failed jobs plan and his casino and movie studios upstate.

My organization is STILL fighting to claw back the CORRECT AND HISTORIC name of the Tappan Zee Bridge, where the name was recently robbed and changed to the vile, vapid and vacuous Mario M. Cuomo Bridge (the 'M' stands for Mendacity), by Mario's equally corrupt and intensely incompetent devil child.

Frankly, I would rather elect an ACTUAL Mafia crime family ring associate to replace this entrenched, establishment-rigged DemonRat (and his demonic Cuomo dynasty), all of whom continue to personify what 'Noise & Sight' pollution looks like in one of the most hyper-corrupt states in the history of American corruption, graft and endless greed.

More Ziti, Cuomo? No? How about a brand new pair of 'wrist bracelets' for you and your pal, Percoco, to match your shabby life of taxpayer funded crime?
