I doubt that this was aimed at New Yorkers. (She's not smart enough to have thought of that.) More likely, it is reavealing about her own father's administration when he was mayor of NO. I think that it is more insulting to taxpayers who pay the salaries of workers who won't work.
She and Blanco both need to be sent to the garbage heap. Both of them are insulting to capable female managers everywhere. Can you imagine Maggie Thatcher or Golda Meier runnign their countries this way?
"More likely, it is reavealing about her own father's administration when he was mayor of NO."
Goes deeper than that. "Most mayors throughout this country."
You are correct that her father's admin. influenced her expectation level of workers-- throughout the country. And imagine her expectation level of staffers, of Federal workers, etc. Such a cynical expectation level poisons her, making her think that more layers of oversight are a must, rather than realizing the importance of better screening of job prospects, the need to be respected by workers, etc.
