NYC OFFICIALS WHEELY BENEFITING FROM PERKS

BUM - David Patterson and a host of NYC employees, mostly department heads & commissioners have been taking advantage of taxpayer money to the tune of $86 million just this fiscal year alone, which allows them to use free cars & chauffeurs & in some instances gas cards to get to and from work.

At a time when everyone is being asked to conserve or cutback, deal with the rising cost and declining service from public transportation, it is a complete embarrassment to the city to have these city employees shuttled around like Hollywood Moguls on their way to Oscar Night.In some instances, some of the employees are mere blocks away from a train stations but yet choose to to driven to work anyway. With the State of NY facing a $14 Billion Budget shortfall, I think Mr David Patterson owes it to the taxpayers of New York to act a little more fiscally responsible and instead should revamp this little known perk. Maybe Skateboards or new Bicycles would not be a bad idea. If you feel this is an outrage, please call your state & city officials and let them know you are not happy.
