Manhattan, NY Focus
Manhattan News:
Service changes for a few months and the weekend
As emergency room waits increase and more people die: New York City's Health and Hospitals Corp. Plans To Cut 2600 Jobs...THIS IS WHY WE NEED HEALTHCARE REFORM!!! Why do our politicians keep closing schools, hospitals, firehouses and police houses but keep cutting taxes on the rich and giving tax breaks to wealthy developers????
Slush fund scandal stretches beyond Seabrook
What Happen to the Council Slush Fund Investigation?
A nation in support of public transportation
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.
