911 Tech Corruption

Scott Stringer is not qualified to be NYC gov comptroller but thanks to back room deals and fixing and favors he got the job. He removed John Liu's Press Release from May 31, 2012 asking for a criminal investigation in to 911. Cy Vance said there is no need for one. Truth is yes there is and we need yet another new audit of 911 and for years before the first audits we needed a criminal investigation in to 911 and we still do. We also need an audit and investigation in to 311 spending and Board of Election, NYCAPS, NYCWiNS, FDNY Wireless, etc.

MTA Shut Down but Not Carriage Horses! ASPCA Hello?



President Obama declared a state of emergency for New York State about 5 p.m. on Friday in anticipation of Hurricane Irene, a Category 2 storm, making landfall on the East Coast. Philip E. Parr, a former member of the New York City Fire Department and former federal coordinator for relief efforts after Hurricane Katrina, was named the coordinating officer. 

The President of the US - not even the mayor or governor - but the President! 

Yet as of 1:36 PM on Saturday- the ASPCA has still not suspended the carriage horses from working. Do they know more than all the weather forecasters?  

We know that they have always enabled the industry - but this is just absurd! 

from the Administrative Code
§ 17-330 Regulations.
f. Owners shall not allow a horse to be worked on a public highway, path or street during adverse weather or other dangerous conditions which are a threat to the health or safety of the horse. A horse being worked when such conditions develop shall be immediately returned to the stable by the most direct route.

NYC Charter - Title 24 Chapter 04 -- § 4-05. Working Conditions. 
(b) Environment. (1) Owners shall not allow a horse to be worked on a public highway, path or street during adverse weather or other conditions which are a threat to the health or safety of the horse and the public. 
Adverse weather conditions shall include but not be restricted to snow, ice, heavy rain or other
slippery conditions. 
A horse being worked when such conditions develop shall be returned to the stable by the most direct route as soon as practicable.

See this video by film maker Donny Moss - ASPCA Fails the Carriage Horse.


Please look carefully at this video and know that it is the truth.  

If the ASPCA is afraid to suspend the business for safety and humane reasons, afraid that they might be sued, then they are not doing their job. The City of NY should enter a contract with an outside entity and dump the ASPCA.  


ASPCA telephone is 212-876-7700 x 4450 for Humane Law.
