In a setback to traffic safety advocates, the State Legislature this week again failed to vote on a bill that would allow the Bloomberg administration to use so-called speed cameras at dangerous intersections to enforce the city�s 30-mile-per-hour speed limit.
Unhappy with Albany�s pace, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg suggested on Friday a different tack: public shaming of leadfooted drivers.
�We�ll put up their names and pictures someplace,� Mr. Bloomberg said on his Friday radio show. �Maybe we can shame them, and we should look at that, because if Albany is not going to let us do this stuff, we�ve got to save lives.�
�Only in the crazy world of Albany,� Mr. Bloomberg said, could an upstate lawmaker decide the city�s ability to use the camera technology as it sees fit.

– only in the crazy world of NYC could Bloomberg think of ridiculous ideas and get them to be passed into immediate effect such as his socialist leaning big-drink ban….
And only in the crazy world of Bloomberg can he legislate as to what we could and can’t eat or drink.
