Shocking! After coming together to get the City Council to pass the term limits extension, now the NY Times reports there are tensions between City Council Speaker Quinn and aides to Mayor Bloomberg: "Feelings are raw between the two sides largely because Ms. Quinn took heavy political shrapnel for the mayor during the term limits battle as she rounded up support for what became an unusually difficult vote." In recent meetings that have "occasionally escalated into shouting," Quinn has been telling mayoral aides not to push for a property tax hike and a proposal for elderly program financing. And Mayor Bloomberg's calls to every City Council member to try to repair relations haven't been so smooth: Even term limits extension supporter Lew Fidler said, "I thought the phone call was going to be simply and purely, ‘Thanks for casting a tough vote.' I didn’t expect him to talk about the next tough vote." Ha! That's Bloomberg--Always Be Closing!




bloomberg kick Quinn's ass
They both could fall off a cliff and I wouldn't care.
yep, he's a bully.
he's used to always getting what he wants and now he's asking for more because they said yes the first time.
actually this is not the first time Quinn said yes. she been selling us out from the beginning for her own interest. property tax, congestion pricing etc.
just look at quinn's face, that's guilt.
now don't vomit madam.
I didn't vote for her, too.
Perhaps in the afterlife Bloomberg will be forced to play the role of Shelly "The Machine" for all eternity.
"sow" should be "sew".
Bloomberg hasn't signed the term limit bill as of yet. The two-term limit is still in effect. He will most likely sign it Monday. But, there is something coming up that will thwart Bloomy's bill.
What did these Council members expect from bloomberg? He's not their friend. He used them. He only cares about the real estate interests and Wall St. He's really bad at recognizing cause and effect. I think it's because he's surrounded by "yes" men.
