This is all bureaucracy at work. Spending money on trucks (and parking space) but leaving them unattended. I encountered many Sanitation workers (at work) that are stuck in their plows for nearly two days, they’re getting paid for sitting there. They’re not only getting paid, they’re getting paid overtime – for doing nothing! How long should it take for a tow truck to pull out these trucks so that the streets should be cleaned?
As I was walking down the streets in Brooklyn today, my belief in the private sector strengthened by no measure. I was walking in carved paths throughout, save the city property and streets. I saw people tripping and falling on the gutters but rarely on sidewalks. I believe that a sign stating “Your Tax Money at Work” should be hanging from each of these trucks…

To poster number one. Your an idiot. Greenfield is not and was not in a position to say anything good or bad about Katrina. Greenfield was not even an elected official.

Stop with yout stupid racist degrading remark and maybe bury yourself in a pile of snow. there is plenty of it for you.

@ #2:
“as of 7:40 pm thusday close to 40 haurs after the snow stopped, NOT ONE street in crown heights has been cleaned.”

Not true, Eastern Pkwy was plowed.

But other then that you’re right.

Tonight, Nachum Segal on his radion show (on 620am) let people call in and comment on the snow storm. A woman started griping about how Manhattan is all cleared and Brooklyn has not been plowed. He didn’t let her finish her sentence. He basicly said what you are saying is not true, and while it may be true Brooklyn has not been plowed, with his own eyes he sees Manhattan is no better. So, who is mistaken? Who is creating q rift where there is none?

I’ve tried (unsuccessfully) locating an email address for Councilman Greenfield, as I wanted to thank him for being my spokesman regarding this fiasco. It is now 48 hours after the initial snow fell, and our streets have not yet been plowed even once. This is not a matter of sanitation being understaffed, this is a matter of neglecting certain areas of the city. We should take the city to court, and demand a reduction in our city taxes for as long as we did not get basic city services.

Bloomberg is concerned with the people who have an alternate lifestyle more than he cares about the Jewish communities of Brooklyn. He is a typical heartless secular Jew who abides by the laws and ideals of liberalism. Yashrus is the last thing he is worried about. You try having billions of dollars and no Torah; see how your judgement fares!
