In the local papers from time to time we have seen editorials for various political figures to resign although none have called for king Mike Bloomberg to step down from his throne, I certainly continue to do so from my YouTube channel and blogs.
Time to rent "All the President's Men". I also purchased the book from ITunes and I will take out a copy of the book from the library.
Follow the money trail... Something I continue to call for and did way before reading Ari Ronston's piece in The New York Observer. Before I read the news of Haggerty allegedly taking $750,000 dollars to buy a house, I would often write "sub-zero trickle down" asking if we could lo-jack the money....where did it all go....
I have wondered that about tax payer money re: Albany and City Hall's handling, abuse, misuse of tax payer's money. Ditto for the MTA. Where does all the money the MTA here in NY?
But getting back to Bloomberg -- all his campaign expenditures need to be investigated and also real estate dealings that are being facilitated who those that ran down to testify Bloomberg must have a third term to groups such as the Doe Foundation that got a big financial pay-off after the election.

Nixon's administration tried to demonize and trash the newspaper reporting the truth...oops and now king Mike Bloomberg comes out attacking the lawless partisan bloggers.
I know, I know, you have heard me say this before....if Mike Bloomberg died right now, John Sexton, pres. of NYU, Cooper Union, Columbia U. and other real estate developers would prop up his dead body just to make sure their real estate deals continue on, even push through a fourth term.
Sadly Cy Vance has to go with tin cup in hand and beg king Mike for money for his budget rather than demand Mike's emails and in terms of their campaigns it is like "1 degree of separation" with characters such as Mark Guma which last time I checked, Vance was paying back his campaign debt. to who I was told is married to Maura Keaney who worked with Haggerty and than went to work with Christine Quinn. Quinn and Keaney were exposed by Jim Dwyer in The New York Times for coming very close to a line that I believe they crossed and for alleged intimidating union members. Quinn is none for using intimidation and retailating against city council members that do not do her bidding....she and king Mike.
Will The New York Post lead Vance to serve Bloomberg and his deputy mayors past and present, campaign staff -- and Bloomberg has blurred the line between his campaign staff and city gov staff like no other thumbing his nose up at NYC tax payers charging them what The NY Post estimates is 2 million dollars to hire a group of them after the election with 6 figure salaries. Deputy Harris has been exposed spending more time working on Bloomberg's charities than at City Hall but we, the tax payers pay for her chauffeured rides. Just a few examples of activity that stinks like dead rats on the subway tracks of the MTA. So much does, like The NY Post exposing a few young women receiving two salaries, one from City Hall and one from king Mike Bloomberg which makes me wonder does that apply to any other city gov. workers past and present under the Bloomberg administration who have also been paid bucks to consult the City of NY as well....could that be....just wondering....?
Somehow I think king Mike's emails are like investments in the Cayman Islands, subpoena proof speaking of which if Mike Bloomberg's money manger Steve Rattner is banned by the SEC that will mean king Mike will have to shift his money managed by Rattner yet again and this time Rattner has to keep his tainted hands off of Mike's money. Rattner pleaded the 5th more times than Mike Bloomberg has been mayor.
The Ari Ronston article is chock full of corruption but he also hits on racism which is something I talk about in Bloomberg and Patterson's treatment of the American Indians.
'While the mayor’s camp decided it ‘needed a substantial ballot security operation’ to fend off his opponent, there was some concern that ‘ballot security could be construed as racist.’
From the Ari Ronston piece in The New York Observer; "While Mr. Bloomberg did not disclose the payments, the party later did."
Folks: I am an artist but as I understand it -- if you do not disclose your campaign expenditures -- it is a misdemeanor A which carries jail time!!!!!!!!!!
Funny I do not see many articles from The New York Times but it is rumored that Steve Rattner is also best friends with the owner of the paper and his money manger or was...he once worked for him....do I think the paper goes easy on him? Yes. Just look at their most recent mention of Rattner is the Hevsei news in The New York Times and it is shameful and dishonest not mentioning he had to resign from his job at The White House to hardy, har, spend more time with his family. The very same lame excuse used by one of Nixon's minion in one of the early scenes in All the President's Men.
Rattner is also rumored to be best friends and manages money for Mort Zuckerman so we are lucky to see some reporting but what was Rattner doing involved in New York Pension Funds in the first place? In my opinion a huge conflict of interest and not the only one. In Joyce Purnick's book on Bloomberg and by the way Purnick is good friends with the powers that be at The New York Times she too refuses to get in to the Rattner scandals but does point out Rattner urged Mike to steal, oops, I mean to write run for a third term.
I made a YouTube May 4, 2009 reporting this, Do NOT believe the media, what the newspapers are telling you....Bloomberg may not win the election because of voter anger.
Here is the YouTube and by the way -- all my YouTubes aprox 334 including the one above were all removed from YouTube a month and half before the election and I believe it was censorship and dirty play involving a G. Gordon Liddy of YouTube and the internet on behalf of Mike Bloomberg and like not disclosing all one's campaign expenditures harassing someone on the internet is aggravated harassment and carries jail time.

p.s. The majority of New Yorkers will never swallow Bloomberg and his henchwoman Christine Quinn denying us a referendum and pushing through a slushy 3rd term.
Bloomberg appointed a Charter Revision Commission and guess what, the managed to push through third terms for city council members again circumventing voters yet again under king Mike 2 years in a row.
No deep throat required although maybe Haggerty will sing unless Mike arranges an offer he can't refuse...how about his house in Bermuda....?
