Manhattan, NY Focus
Manhattan News:
What Happen to the Council Slush Fund Investigation?
A nation in support of public transportation
Brooklyn Bridge Park, Governors Island takeovers spark privatization questions
In a move without precedent in New York City government, Mayor Bloomberg has appointed a sitting deputy mayor in his administration to simultaneously run his charitable foundation
Worries over rats as city cuts pest control jobs...so, on top of fewer police (crime now going up), fewer firehouses (response time now getting longer and endangering lives), and fewer hospitals (endangering lives), Bloomberg will now give us more rats. I have already seen a huge increase in the stations I frequent. Guess we'll see even more.
New York's Ten Worst Landlords
After-school programs to close due to budget cuts...Stupid! This means working families will have an even harder time, will have to rely on illegally hired nannies (IF they can afford it) which reduces tax revenues, AND it means reduced education, which is linked to higher crime and drug use. ANOTHER example of stupid, short term solutions designed to protect tax breaks for developers and millionaires at the expense of the rest of us.
Judge Voids City School Closings
Time for Developers to Contribute to the City's Infrastructure Needs...more: Without Transit Improvements, NYC growth will stagnate
62 fire companies may close...As more and more of our tax money go to developers like Bruce Ratner, Bloomberg closes more and more fire houses. THIS IS INSANE!
