Michael Bloomberg and William Magear "Boss" Tweed -- two sides of the same coin. They should share name recognition on that "...monument to corruption and waste..." (now the main office to the New York City Department of Education) -- The Tweed Courthouse.

Bloomberg lost all credibility the day the city's term-limit laws were overturned.

He and Quinn directly ignored the people's stated&legally installed choice of no more than two terms.

He ain't that important, and she sure ain't.

He's an arrogant four feet eleven inches of overstaying his welcome since 2009.

He bought his way to third term after the voters twice before had mandated term limits. His aide de campe Christine Quinn gave the mayor his third term, all the while serving her own selfish needs. He has done nothing in his time as mayor other than: raise property taxes close to 150%, water sewer bills 400%, parking meter costs100%, destroyed traffic in this city with his asinine DOT Commissioner Khan, kept the sanctuary city status in place although it is unconstitutional, became the nanny of all nyers trying to decide what it is they can and can't drink, pushing thru his gun agenda so that ordinary civilians can't have guns while he is guarded by an armed militia 24 hours a day, tells NY ers they have to be green in their living all the while he jaunts all over the world in his private fleet of jets.............be gone and be forgotten. It is going to take a highly paid PR firm to make this guy look better than Dinkins!

This guy will be remembered for his landmark decision to (ban soft drinks over 12 oz.)and his statement saying the cops "did the right thing" after they wounded 9 innocent civilians in a shoot out from ten feet away.
