Apologies

Schoolgal reprimanded me for being so hard on this guy. She reminded me of his predecessor who was featured on the front page of the Post, smiling as he talked to a reporter about overcrowding. His predecessor saw nothing wrong with kids eating lunch at 9:00 AM, taking gym outside in frigid weather or the school giving dance lessons in the hallways with music so loud no one could hear themselves think. At least this guy recognizes a problem exists and wants to do something about it.

Apologies! And, thanks Schoolgal for the reminder!

I admire people who can apologize without using the word but at all. Hopeful this guy can help improve things.

Thank you for this.

But let's celebrate the fact that Bloomie and Randi did not get the continuation of mayoral control. Maybe this Senate circus was a blessing.

Padavan is my state senator. I never voted for him in all the years I live in Queens and was upset when he won by the skin of his teeth this year. Now, for the first time, I am happy he is in the Senate.

Isn't he the guy that was looking for a coke? Personally this circus was the best thing that could have happened. I am so upset that these new taxes and parking meter increases are the burden of the middle class.


Yes New Yorkers--vote for Bloomie.
He's the guy who enforced meter rules on a Sunday. Enforced alternate-side of the street parking after a major snowstorm. Told Astoria businesses and residents to suck it up after a major blackout. What a guy!!
