Mayor Gives All His Buddies Raises Leaving Everyone Else Out in the Cold

The Mayor does in the poor and middle class every chance he gets and he does it without fan fare from the press which allows his Kingdom to lie to the public with ads and commercials that are truly fictitious.
On Friday it was announced that the Mayor had given raises totalling 69 million over 2 years. This would seem like a good thing but those raises were given to 6,692 of his managers and non union employees. Among the people getting raises were Police Commissioner Kelly going from $189,700 a year to $212,947 a year. Deputy Mayor Patricia Harris received a raise of $18, 541 to bring her yearly salary to $245,760. Other people who got raises of more than $15,000 are the Taxi Commissioner and the Mayor's Press Secretary.
By announcing on Friday the press basically ignored it on Saturday a slow news day. It has not bothered to pick up the issue.
City workers who are not associated with the Mayor lose their jobs while transit fares, rents and taxes are either going up or gone up. Money for police is lacking and quality of life crimes are up but yet the Mayor finds money for his cronies and buddies for raises when the poor and middle class of New York continue to struggle. Let us not forget that unemployement in New York is over 9%.
The Mayor needs to be investigated but the press is falling down on its job to do so.
William Thompson got the endorsement this past week of the Working Families Party. He must defend those families and start pounding at the Mayor on these issues to bring the truth out about a corrupt administration run by Mayor Bloomberg.
