who benefited the MOST from his eight years? The rich. plain and simple and now he wants to give them another 4 years to use the city as they will. I'm really holding back my disdain for this man, and I use that term lightly.

Mayor Bloomberg has since refused to acknowledge that a number of first responders died of ground zero-related illnesses. When former NYPD Detective James Zadroga died, Bloomberg stated that he “was not a hero”– alleging that Zadroga’s death was not due to lung illness but drug abuse. He has since apologized

I do not see all the greatness in this man. NYC has become the playground of the rich and famous especially if you want to live there and forget about buying an apartment. I see just as much corruption in the DOB especially as it relates to the WTC site. My goodness, how many years since and what is there to show for it? Foundations. BS. When someone lists up for me all the indispensable things Mayor Bloomberg has done I will consider changing my tune. Until then to quote Charles de Gaulle, "The graveyards are full of indispensable men." People, do not give Bloomberg a third term. This is what we voted against twice now. How can you justify the loss of truth to yourself in support of this man?

FY 08 started months ago and there is nothing clear from the numbers that there is any coercion going on. This is just the post upholding its reputation as the best fiction you can get for a quarter.

What is just as sick if not worse is the sham that the schools are functioning properly. Check out http://southbronxschool.blogspot.com To find out the truth!

when one gives to charity it should be with no strings, what this mayor did is disgusting. his true colors are showing. why can't people see we don't need a businessman in city hall? what's so good about a businessman? city hall is not a business, people are human beings.

Bloomberg is more like Emperor Palpatine of Star Wars. Simcha Felder has no integrity. Simcha Felder would sell his own mother.

Please don't vote for council member Michael McMahon who is running for congress for 13th (Staten Island/Brooklyn). He voted for the highest property tax and congestion pricing for Mayor Bloomberg and he will vote to overturn the will of the people on term limits. Vote for Bob Straniere

This is really sick and the Federal govt needs to seize control of the NYC council. Too much corruption and use of OUR money. Vallone Jr. and Dickens and Felder will vote to overturn the will of the people. That is why we have only 2 hearings in cityhall and not in any other boroughs and also limited to only 2 minutes. Most people left after waiting over 3 hours.
