My problem with Bloomberg
Bloomberg is often right on the issues. (He's wrong quite often, too, of course, but we can save that for another post.)
But even when he's right, his rightness is like the pine-scented air freshener that can't quite conceal the stench of his underlying pigheadedness.
Financial incentives to encourage taxi owners to buy more efficient vehicles? Sounds great! But here's our mayor in today's NY Times:
The mayor lashed out at critics, saying that the pollution from gas-guzzling taxis hurt city children. Told that critics found the new incentives "deeply troubling," the mayor snapped, "I think it's more deeply troubling that they're trying to kill our kids."
That's right, "trying to kill our kids." Got it? Now shut up and sit down.
