NYtimes metro section article on the mayor making millions? Lucky guy contrasted with the city going bust quality of life going down
I can't find the link so if you can email it but this week I thought I saw an article in The New York Times, metro section that stated the mayor made millions while in office...he is just a lucky guy.
First I want a refund-- I want him to pay us back the dollar we pay him and we can put it in to the city budget. How much do we pay mega millionaire sociality city planner Amanda Burden? What ever it is can we have the money back to use toward re-opening our firehouses and I wish she stayed a socialite marrying mega rich men and divorcing them. (By the way in NYC it is a socially acceptable way to earn mega bucks, marrying and divorcing rich men. By the way I am told the goal is to have at least one baby right away to get more money! ) However Amanda Burden was born with a platinum spoon in her mouth. Dollar bill Dan Doctoroff can we have the dollar back?
2nd I posted and email that I sent that asked that the city budget is bust can the mayor pay for speed bumps in front of the only 2 schools below Houston in the Lower East Side area that I have seen that do not have them.
It is just obscene that he makes this kind of money and closes our firehouses, libraries --he has enough to solve our budgetary woes out of his own pockets and when I see all these celebrities ask us for donations I always think the same about them as well. If we give 50 dollars and scale that up to what they earn --- they could be giving millions. And then you have billionaires as The New York Sun pointed out about one New York billionaire born in Brooklyn who declares Virgin Islands his home which is just another way he is not paying taxes here in NYC.
We also need to put a cap on the no. 1 and no. 3 real estate magnates -- it is obscene that you can buy up all of New York and use the not for profit status as shelter. I continue to ask you news reporters visiting this blog and email them directly -- you have the resources I don't, do the math, what would all these not for profit institutions have to pay the city of New York in taxes and show how much of New York they own.
Let us have a list of how many billionaires make New York their playing field and play ground owning some of the largest houses here in NYC but refuse to declare NYC as their home and answers those questions and than tell me how the city could be going more bust than it was when the mayor closed our firehouses and our starting salary for the NYPD got lowered which should NEVER have happened and still puts the city in a awkward position like so many -- bottom line -- if it is true that the mayor sold Donnell Library, and
my belief that you can't let greedy NYU supersize the East and West Village with out examining the safety and environmental concerns including infrastructure meaning for instance they cram 900 students into the St. Ann's mega dorm and yes they throw down the newest pipes for sewage and water which I saw them do but they are connected to old pipes and the pressure of throwing 900 plus friends use of water and sewage and add in all the other aspects of infrastructure means the old pipes down the street do break because they are old and rotting.
My old home water would come out rust colored sometimes...the city especially in the Village -- East and West have old pipes and supersizing buildings and throwing down new pipes just in front of the hotels, condos and mega dorms doesn't assure the safety of the community.
When the pipes breaks it means people and small businesses are displaced which thrills greedy developers. Anything that makes is impossible to live here is a good thing for greedy developers.
I believe our safety has been jeopardized in so many ways because of this tsunami of community crushing development and I was published first in AM New York, 'Destroying Old New York" January 11, 2007 on my concerns for the East Village because of St. Ann's tear down and city wide.
I believe safety concerns and our quality of life concerns worsening even further continued to be ignored and New Yorkers are paying some with their lives, injuries and with higher everything and less to show for it or being pushed out of the city.
