New York City’s Department of Investigation admitted it began a probe earlier this week into the motives behind the Sanitation Department bosses’ decision to sabotage the blizzard cleanup.
Sources told New York Post that Sanitation bosses issued verbal directives during the clean-up to give priority to streets near the homes of agency heads and other city bigwigs.
Despite Mayor Michael Bloomberg‘s insistence that all roads would be plowed at least once by Thursday morning, many were untouched, with snow still piled high in Crown Heights and other Brooklyn neighborhoods.
Even as streets in the outer boroughs waited for a single plow to arrive, the Post reported, crews were clearing bicycle lanes on the Upper West Side. Bloomberg, however, insisted that was not happening.
Across the city, residents still confined to their homes by the storm’s after-effects had plenty of blame both for Bloomberg and the rogue Sanitation workers.
Shulamit, a COLlive reader, reported that on Wednesday night, at 8 PM, “an orange salt and plow truck driving into 45th Street from 14th Avenue in a the first attempt to clear the street.”
She said she learned from a resident that after driving in about 100’ the driver conveniently decided that he was stuck.
“He sat in the truck for 2 hours,” she said.
“At 10 PM, he decided to “join” the English Daf Yomi Shiur in the Sefardishe Shul located on the corner of 14th Avenue and 45th Street. He sat out till the end of the shiur at 12 AM.”
The resident who photographed the worker was left wondering “what does a goy know about Mesechte Zevuchim?”
Sucks.
It’s riddled with corruption.
It’s government must be dismantled and started again.
Twice.
Yeah, did anyone see that video of the snow plow totally destroying a perked car because it cldnt get through?
Rather him be stuck than not caring about other peoples cars
Driver drove in about 2 cars’ length at noon on Thursday and by 2 PM was still claiming to be stuck. Passing by at 4 PM again, I noticed he was halfway through the street, but sitll nowhere close to Albany. Pathetic and Disturbing.
To no. 3: One can’t assume that every Jewish person asks for a yarmulka, even in an environment where you would think he would, it may have been uncomfortable for him to ask, or he may not have thought he needed one.
In any case, if he was stuck (we don’t know for sure), it makes sense that after 2 hrs of sitting in his car, he wanted to do something else until his help came for his truck. I hate when ppl judge, you just never will know….
Dont you all see the Car in front of him. maybe he went inside to call the driver. Even if he has room to pass he needs to be careful since the plow is very wide and scractches the car sides. He went inside to call the driver and was waitng for him to go back to his car.
Who cares what he did while he wasn’t plowing. The issue is that the sanitation people didn’t plow. Not where they were while they were not-plowing. Would you feel better if he was at a night club? How about a laundromat or a sushi bar?
you don’t know
maybe he was taking a break and warming up
let him become a jew
if he was cold and stuck why should he waist our money and fuel to stay warm until he was pulled out… he deserves to be commended
how didd he enjoy it?
it’s sanitation, not sanhedrin:)
He was a goy. If he were Jewish he would have asked a yarmulke
He know more than I do now!
Who said he was a goy? There areno jewish sanhedrin workers?
