Was there ever a time when Rudy ran the show were there any problems like this?
If I’m wrong please tell me.

BTW this does not mean I want him to be POTUS

Rudy ran the snow cleanup like a military operation. This nonsense never happened while he was mayor.

Quite the contrary. Here's how Rudy handled a similar storm:

Back in 1996, a similar monster storm struck our city. It dumped 20 inches, closed airports, and left drifts 20-feet high.

Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani not only declared a snow emergency and ordered all nonessential vehicles off the road, he took 3,300 city buses out of service so they wouldn't block sanitation trucks and rescue vehicles.

Giuliani also asked then-Gov. George Pataki for help. Pataki dispatched 400 national guardsmen with 100 Humvees that were used as ambulances to transport medical supplies and health workers.

Note the use of NG humvees as ambulances, That baby's death is on Bloomie as much as on the plow drivers.

I miss Rudy like mad. Too bad he screwed up his personal life so that he is essentially unelectable because the man knew how to cut to the chase and solve problems.
