This is not Bloomberg's fault dont blame him he is simply doing what has to be done. We are running on a 8 billion dollar deficit last i heard. Ask any finance, accounting, anything business related how to pull a corporation out of a deficit and they'll all give you the same answer... cut costs, thats what hes doing and this should have been done a long time ago. To tell you the truth i actually feel bad from Bloomberg considering hes taking all the heat that other city officials should have shared in. They simply sweeped it under the rug, smiled and pork-barreled their way through their terms.
