I can’t decide if closing 20 fire companies is Civic Insanity or Municipal Treason. The fire department is one of the cornerstones of NYC’s homeland security apparatus. I always thought the first responsibility of government is to provide for the safety of the people, apparently Mayor Bloomberg feels differently.

well, mayor billionaire could underwrite the deficit for the entire state of new york, much less new york city. but instead, he fires thousands of teachers and closes fire stations, services for the elderly and children, disabled and poor…

but hey, here in new york city, alabama, where for 15 years the cops have had open season to kill hundreds of non-whites with all killer cops acquitted… we see bloomie aint closing any precinct houses, eh?

gov’t is becam devils cos u want to mak it as paradias

The city could make millions of dollars in taxes that are not being payed by Illegal Immigrants and employers that are hiring them with no benefits and not paying any taxes ! Take one million Illegals being payed off the books ( certainly a conservitive number ) and do the math !

You’ll recall that Emperor Nero, who wanted to clear out poor neighborhoods to build his vast Golden Palace on the Palatine, blamed a convenient fire on the Christians. Undoubtedly Mayor Codfish draws his inspiration from the insane Nero. Does he also have a lyre (lor in legend fiddle) to play while NYC burns?

If they close any firehouses, do you think they would be in affluent neighborhoods? Would the mayor dare close the firehouse near his UES townhouse? How do you even make such a decision?

Lets see. We’re giving billions of dollars away to countries like Pakistan, but have no money here to keep teachers and firefighters. Ya, now that makes sense doesn’t it.

Bloomberg is quite a character. His administration over saw a one billion dollar timekeeper fraud scheme and he has the nerve to cut teachers and firemen. He’s quite the character.
