Today the tabloids lob post-Blizzageddon snowballs at their respective targets; the Daily News at Mayor Bloomberg and the Post at NYC DOT Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan. According to the News, Bloomberg has declined to send Sanitation Department reps to perform at the City Council's touring political theater production about his administration's response to last month's blizzard.
