We had a big scandal with corrupt restaurant inspectors at one time. If you didn’t pay, not only did you get a fine, but the New York Times would publish all the details, especially if there were vermin of any kind. Bye bye restaurant.

Now the city is collecting the bribes, because of their enormous expenses and one-party rule and congenital lawlessness. They can fine you for ridiculous things like an ice cube on the kitchen counter. They can always find something wrong.

They used to love showing up at the busiest times, so the restaurants couldn’t close down the kitchen and throw everything away, although some did anyway and sent all the patrons out. But now I think they have stopped doing that. Still, it costs a lot of $$ to keep that “A” in the window.

The Democrats will pour infinite amounts of $$$$ to keep him in office as mayor of our country's largest city.
