Bloomberg and his mini-me Christine Quinn had no problem lowering the NYPD starting salary when city council with the exception of 3 members voted themselves a raise with some having lousy attendance records and also extended term limits all huge conflicts of interest. Tell me where a minimum wage job or a $10 an hour job at a shopping mall or the new Nets stadium built on an illegal land grab (eminent domain abuse) is going to take people? The politicians talk but their actions especially when it comes to themselves speaks volumes!
Just a reminder folks, Bloomberg nows we are in a budgetary crisis, despite smoke and mirrors talk, NYC and the USA always is thanks to greed, stupidity and corruption with politicians from the left, right and middle and the powerful corporation and financial sector power houses that "rule".
Bloomberg still managed to hire his campaign staff all with 6 figure salaries to what The New York Post estimates is $2 million dollars courtesy of The New York TAX PAYERS!!!!!!!!!!!!! In the meantime crooks like Pedro Espada may get back in because we can't get the newspapers to cover opposing candidates and we can't get people to come out and vote.
If only we could do computerized voting with our finger print from her homes via the television....than maybe we could get people to vote....just maybe!
