As I sit here looking at my unplowed street and hope that I will not need an ambulance, an oxygen delivery, or any other medical assistance, I had an interesting thought. Had there been public school this week, would the streets have been plowed already? Mayor Mike wouldn’t dare take a chance on having schools closed two days in a row (and it looks like tomorrow won’t be much better). If public school had been in session, buses would have had to dig out, streets that surround public schools would have been plowed, and there would have been a more rapid response in the outlying boroughs. Our mayor, who broke existing law to run for a third term, should be impeached.

Next time , try Harder??? What does that mean. You cannot excuse yourself Mr Mayor and say SORRY. This was not to be believed. I was in the last 50 years many storms, and this was not the worst of them, but the cleanup has not even started here in Brooklyn. I called 311 last night and stayed on hold for 50 minutes and hung up after getting no response from a live operator. This morning I decided to try again 311 and to my surprise I again held on for 36 minutes getting only the recorded message that “Someone will be with you shortly”. It is now 12:50 PM and if I would have stayed on the line I probably would still be holding on,as I am now reading that 311 is not working. Mr Mayor you have to give us more than an apology but we must hear why our streets in Flatbush and Boro Park have still not plowed even once.There were 8 plows sitting on Ave P near Ocean Parkway at 10:00 AM on Sunday before the first snow flake came down. I haven’t seen any of them since then, It just makes no sense at all

Now he wants to fine home owners who haven’t shoveled! Do we the taxpaying homeowners, get to fine him, for not plowing the streets?

King Mike does not care about the masses that live in the ghetto (outer boroughs) and their petty non educated complaints versus the educated elite./

Something doesn’t add up here. Does the mayor think we are stupid. As posted earlier, there were sanitation workers sitting in snow plows as early as 12:00 p.m. Sunday here in Boro Park and Flatbush. As of now i have not seen one down my block. Yes, i pay taxes, prepaid quarterly and yet we had to pay someone to dig us out.
We heard reports of police calling Hatzolah to help them.
Well i guess we can change the phrase “the city never sleeps” to the “city was put to sleep”.
Another point, JASA is not delivering meals to the homebound, if you know someone who is dependent on such for food, bring them food and check to see all is in order!

Perhaps a 13 year old is the only who made it in to the Posts office.

I’ve seen better writing from 13 year olds
