Throw Out The Garbage From NYC’s Sanitation Department
The news coming out of the New York Post is no surprise: informants from within the Sanitation Department have come out secretly exposing that workers deliberately slowed down the blizzard cleanup efforts in an underhanded move to make Bloomberg look bad.
