Tom: Great piece. One error, a lot of people care that Bloomberg is a crook. My new YouTube series refer to him as Teflon Mike and the new pet name resonates for the little emperor of NYC. I got damming info sent to me about Cy Vance's campaign irregularities and who hold the purse strings to the Manhattan DA's office but Mike Bloomberg? Just like certain city council members have said they are afraid of retaliation by Mike's mini-me, Christine Quinn if they attempt to confront her and Bloomberg about things like CityTime, the tax payers Titanic. In the info I was sent on Cy Vance, it stated something to the effect that Guma who worked on Cy Vance's campaign and Vance is paying Guma the debt he owes him -- this Guma is married to Maura Keaney who was working with Haggerty on Mike Bloomberg's campaign. This is the same Maura Keaney who was written up with Christine Quinn by Jim Dwyer http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/03/nyregion/03about.html ethic lapses and I think Christine Quinn and Maura Keaney are accused of intimidation of Union people.... What Mike Bloomberg did denying us a referendum was criminal and who encouraged him to run for a third term? Steve Rattner who now may be banned by the SEC for 3 years who had to pay 12 million in fines for his pay to play pension scandals. Remember Rattner thought he was Teflon Steve as well and that at worst Quadrangle would take the fall so he moved Mike's 5 billion for charity out of Quadrangle and created a new firm who's name we do not know and now if he gets banned he won't be able to money manage Mike's 5 bill for charity. Oh, John Sexton the president who is paid 1.8 million to be the real estate magnate emperor for NYU, the purple reign of terror ran down to city hall and testified Mike must have a third term. How can NYU tear down and bust through zoning without Mike as king of New York? Can John Sexton even vote in NYC? Do NYU students and faculty even know or care that NYU spends big bucks to beat down community law suits and ditto for Cooper Union (NYU jr.). We care Tim but what are suppose to do? Ask Cuomo to be sheriff or have a revolution? Any ideas?
