But the cuts will surely affect the classrooms. Conditions are so poor already. All the cuts should come from 65 Court.

He better get the whole city smoking cigarettes as quickly as possible.

"Two hundred staffers will be cut from the New York City Housing Authority" How about eliminating the NYCHA altogether? If 400,000 people need my taxes to live in the city, maybe they should move somewhere more affordable, or, like, get a job.

Bloomberg can really save the city money if the eliminate the useless corrupted city council. 51 overpaid part time jobs eliminated.

Let's start with the ridiculous tax breaks for businesses that use the extra loot for bonuses. Make the tax breaks targeted towards hiring employees - no hires, no breaks.

Another example of the genius stewardship we absolutely have to have for 4 more years. Way to kick off your campaign, Mike.

This is going to be funny real soon. Especially when Bloomberg's term limit bill will be overturned by the state legislature and Bloomberg is already proposing very unpopular cuts. He is going to look like such an idiot! NYers are going to want to run him out of town! Forget about any referendum. With the losses the Republicans have taken in Albany, he has very little support. The state Dems are looking to pounce. You need to remember the state reps are true politicians and not the nitwits in the City Council.

How about deleting that over $425,000,000 garbage garage in West Soho and spend that on schools, not free indoor parking for sanitation workers?

that Bloompig better keep his paws off our two new stadiums. our sports teams need hundreds of millions in tax rebates and give-aways in order to field a winning team. i hope he has the vision to see that moving stadiums across the street will generate lots of new tax revenue. i wish The Donald would buy a sports team so we can give another billionaire a stadium.
