The Lost Hope from Park Slope, Mayor Bill de Blasio has managed to annoy, aggravate and consume the time of endless investigators and the citizens of this great city far too long. It is time for a clean break. No matter where you look, de Blasio and his cronies have set off another blazing firestorm of reckless behavior and very unwise public policy. Whether it’s the homeless crisis, the $10k debt per taxpayer, the building of prisons in every county, overdevelopment in our community, adoption of basement apartments as an affordable housing solution, his utter disrespect for those in law enforcement, mismanagement of city agencies, and his insanely absentee behavior in City Hall, de Blasio has proven to be a clear ZERO! The arrogance of this man and the entire “I’m above it all mentality” is sickening.
