New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) will furlough himself and hundreds of other city employees for a week as the government looks to tighten its budget amid shortfalls resulting from the coronavirus pandemic [translation: years of stink poor communist management].

De Blasio's policy is expected to impact nearly 500 mayoral staff members, according to the New York Times, and yield $860,000 in savings this year.

de Blasio will be taking another vacay. Can't hurt the city any more than he already has.

You can’t furlough yourself. You’re governor 24/7.

LOL! Did anyone ever find the $800+million that can’t be accounted for that mrs DUH-blah-zero was responsible for? “I’ll take ‘lying SOS for a $1,000 Alex.”

But this is THE Bill de Blasio. Perhaps he gave his wife a salary increase to cover his shortfall.

They told NY residents to leave if they didn’t like what was being done.
Guess they took this advice.

NYC would be better off with no mayor for a week, than with the one they have.

Exactly—NYC is safer when de Blasio is on a deserted island with no telecommunication.

What sort of work could possibly warrant 500 mayoral staff members ?

Rumor that Rudy Guiliani’s son will run for either Gov or Mayor. Go for Mayor and let Eric Trump run for Gov.

If he does, are legal experts able to determine if he can’t enforce his edicts.

No disrespect to Eric intended.

I just think he’s too nice to be an NYS pol.
