If anyone is to blame over this death, it is the Mayor. The buck stops with him. Can't blame the lowly minion for doing what he was trained to do.
I thought Obama’s statement was just as bad last night. He was simply fanning the flames.
Bloomberg was the one who pushed through the most recent cigarette tax increase. The City alone charges $1.50 a pack. The state charges $4.35, the Feds $1.01. I understand New York also charges sales tax, which adds an additional 10%.
