When New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced recently that hed make banning the citys horse-drawn carriages his first priority, a lot of people were left asking, Really? Could This be the Reason De Blasio Decided to Go After Horse Carriages in NYC?
Indeed, for all the problems de Blasio claims the city struggles with, it would seem horse-drawn carriages would take a back seat. But they havent and hes pursuing the ban.
And there may be a reason why: A major de Blasio campaign donor and real-estate executive may be tied up in the drive to banish the iconic carriages, according to The American Spectator.
Its got everything a scandal could ever want, Eva Hughes, vice-president of the Horse and Carriage Association of New York City, said in the report.

No way a democrat and a New Pol would be involved in any plan to steal tax money from the city’s coffers on some scam project. We need to just move a long....end sarcasm

My reaction, too—so fast, making it so obvious... have we fallen so far that it is reasonable to think we wouldn’t notice, or is DeBlasio that inartful in repaying his favors?

is DeBlasio that inartful in repaying his favors? I think he's just following the example of the Chicago Mob and the Clinton Crime Family. Do the deed, and if anybody notices, change the subject.

When I look at him, I see the southbound end of a northbound horse.

Before Mayor Bill de Blasio involves himself in corruption , he should have a debate with Martin Bashir about insanity , and then raise taxes
To: blueyon
Not a scandal. Mayor is ‘Rat media darling.

Though the given reason is the welfare if the horses, I still maintain that Marxist POS doesn’t like the bourgeois appearances of people riding around in carriages while the masses are in foot. Symbolism is a big deal among communists.

When I look at him, I see the southbound end of a northbound horse. "Tell you what, Mayor, let's play a game of HORSE. I'll be the front end and you just be yourself."
