| Publishers Party on LI the Rest of Us Face A Summer of Crime |
NYT, NYP, Daily News Editorials Have Remained Silent On the Corruption and Other Problems of the Third Term Mayor They Sold Us
When the three editorial boards of the city leading newspapers asked for and got a change in the term limits law to reelect a mayor who served their interests and their wealthy friends needs. The leaders of the NYT, NYP and Daily News told us that Bloomberg knew how to run the city better than anyone. Now after the 8 arrests of city contractors in connection with the Citytime contract scandal there is not a single city official in charge of that project indicted. We are left clueless why the mayor's people and comptroller Thompson did not know about a kick back scam funneling millions to the consults in charge of the project. In fact we are told by the mayor that the CityTime contract is Mission Accomplished. The publishers of the papers have said nothing about the mayor's wasted city funds as teachers are laid off, firehouses closed and cops cuts so deep that that a summer crime was is a real possibility. New revelations arise in CityTime scandal leading prosecutors to charge second ring of consultants
