Mayor Bloomberg To Slash Brooklyn Public Library Budget By 17.5 Million

Mayor Bloomberg has decided to slash $17.5 million of the Brooklyn Public Library's budget and give borough residents the fewest library hours in the city.
Once again the Mayor in his infinite wisdom has decided to attack the poor and middle class. Senior citizens, the unemployed and children spent many hours per day in the library. For senior citizens it is a way of cheap entertainment and a way to keep up with today's world. For the unemployed who like to read or need the use of computer or videos it is a way to get these things at no cost. It is also a place they can do research to get a new job. For the children of Brooklyn it is plain and simple a place to learn and to grow and make New York City a better place. These people can not afford to spend $10-20 a book at Barnes & Nobles like the wealthier people Mayor Bloomberg refuses to tax.
The Mayor does not care about the poor and middle class. If he did he would be willing to raise the taxes on those making over $250,000 a year. He says the wealthy will leave the city if they do. What does he think the poor and middle class will do if they have no money or entertainment or pleasure?
The Mayor is out of touch with the majority of New Yorkers.
