I wonder what he has in his refrigerator? Well its the old do what I say not what I do thing. This is what happens when the Emperor wants total control over his subjects. The larger issue should be that people are being fed and not going hungry. People may stop donating if they keep this up. It's ridiculous. How much will people take of this nonsense?
Have you seen the huge mountains of used clothes, including old high-heeled shoes, that have been donated to Sandy victims? These mountains of clothes are basically soggy trash that now someone has to get rid of. Have you seen the dozens of emails and info put out on websites that say "no more clothing donations"?
This is because people have no common sense. We have to have some rules in place. I assume there is some reason behind these food regulations -- which, by the way, are not new -- because probably you have places that want to drop off their old soggy french fries instead of dumping them in the garbage where they belong.
I would like to hear both sides before jumping on the "I hate Bloomberg" bandwagon, which everyone seems to want to ride on here.
Yes, this article is from March. Is it still in effect? Maybe it was changed due to Sandy?
Anyway, I'm really not so against the city not feeding crap (ie; sugary drinks, fatty food) to its shelter population. If available, it's better to give them healthier food. More fruits and vegetables. Less processed foods.
In the long run it will save us money. We all pay into Medicaid in the form of tax dollars, so if we have an opportunity to save a little bit in the long run, we should definitely take it.

I agree some people make stupid donations, but the mayor is an out of touch person who has no clue about the outer boroughs. He proved that with his marathon idiocy which put a lot of the runners out while simultaneously being grossly insensitive to the suffering people were going through and almost put an unnecessary strain on police, etc. He was late to the party on gas odd/even rationing and should have not lifted restrictions on car pooling over the crossings, except for emergency personnel and others needed to help with the recovery.
This idiot needs to go before he does any more damage. Cuomo & Christie are from 2 different parties, yet they know what they're talking about unlike this fool.

I guess its hard for Bloomy, when everything is not structured and planned out like in the Corporate world. When the unexpected arises and emergencies occur, a true leader will shine. Bloomy you failed. Not that he is a bad mayor but good to know he some flaws.
