I’ve renovated for the new year. Simpler, cleaner, and – of course – less work for me! Since I received ZERO input, I’ve made it easier on my self. J It was ime to house clean. I really like the daily news wire approach. No thought on my part, find it and post it. Optimizes my time spent on the doing and less on the formatting. Hope everyone else does as well. # # # # # |

III (MC1984) http:// cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com /2007/12/07/ picking-a-successor-for-doctoroff /?hp December 7, 2007, 4:52 pm ***Begin Quote*** Several names are being floated at City Hall as possible successors to Daniel L. Doctoroff, the deputy mayor for economic development, who is leaving the government at the end of the year to become president of Bloomberg L.P. Among the possible candidates being mentioned are John H. Banks III and Marvin Markus. Mr. Banks is the top lobbyist for Consolidated Edison and
a City Hall veteran. He began his career in the Koch administration in the
Mayor’s Office of Operations in 1986. In 1990, he joined the Finance Division
of the City Council, working on infrastructure and economic development
issues. He became deputy director of the division in 1993, managing a staff
of 40 financial analysts. He joined Con Edison in 1999 but returned to the
Council to serve as chief of staff to the speaker at the time, Gifford
Miller, from 2000 to 2002. A graduate of {Extraneous Deleted} Each man would offer different strengths. Mr. Banks has deep relationships in the government and might be a suitable choice to implement the ambitious — and unfinished — agenda that Mr. Doctoroff laid down. Mr. Markus is highly regarded by the private sector and, like Mr. Doctoroff, is seen as independent — and sometimes impatient. Mr. Markus’s role in presiding over contentious hearings over rent regulations could be a drawback if Mr. Bloomberg is looking for someone with broad public appeal. {Extraneous Deleted} ***End Quote*** # - # - # Dear John, I believe that John may be a member of the Class of 1984.

Or the Pepsi and Coke folks shooting it out over space in the inner city. No, it’s the black market resolving its disputes. Now don’t get me wrong. Drug addiction is terrible. A tragedy. But what we have done is far far worse. If the gooferment can’t keep drugs out of its own prisons, the what chance do they have of doing it in a supposedly free society. Nope, the market will provide what people demand. Only the gooferment is dumb enough to think that laws will change that. And, we’re even dumber to let them try! ? |
