Where's Mike's 8-Point Plan Now?
0 commentsIf, like most NYers who haven't been paying close attention to the NYC mayoralty race—since there's only one "oh-so-announced" announced candidate running, you may have missed the flurry of campaign ads that Mayor Mike Wallet, NYC's richest man, ran last Spring.
He loudly trumpeted: "I have an 8-point plan to create jobs in New York City!!"
OK. Kinda wondered where some of those points were during his eight (8) years already spent in office, but we'll walk with him for a moment on this one.
But, then we see this:
New York City jobless rate hits 9.6%—a 12-yr. high
Hmmmm, hasn't been this high since the end of Rudy's first term.
And we realize ol' Mayor Mike hasn't said anything about job creation in a very long time. Hmmm. Probably, because he can't.
I assume this is due to Bloomberg News simply not being able to accommodate any more staff.
Mike's going to simply have to buy sections of New Jersey in order to find new places for NYers to work.
