Going for a carriage ride in Central Park always struck me as a very New Yorky thing to do. I never got to do it and, by the looks of things, never will.
"If you asked the horses, 'Do you want to be out in a mud paddock with no feed, standing in a snowstorm, or in a dark stall on the fourth floor of some building in New York City?', I'm not sure how'd they'd answer."
If only they had a Cart Horse Union.
Raising taxes on the rich makes our commitment to our kids more than just words. It makes that commitment real.
Woo hooWe will protect the almost half-million undocumented New Yorkers, whose voices too often go unheard.
We will reach out to all New Yorkers, regardless of immigration status -- issuing municipal ID cards available to all New Yorkers this year.
To all of my fellow New Yorkers who are undocumented, I say: New York City is your home too.
It's who they wanted. New Yorkers love to be governed...apparently.
NYC will look like Detroit before DiBlasio is done.
I for one will laugh.

Agreed.... This is like the recent news about members of congress wanting the Redskins to change their name because they found it offensive.... IIRC the reply was something like "Don't they have more important things to work on?".....
Where do they dig these guys up? How the hell does he even get voted in? I just don't get it and I probably never will.
Wheres the old breed CIA when you need them?
It has nothing to do with the horses. It is about the prime real estate where those horses are kept that he wants to then turn over to some of his elitist friends.Action Item: Shut down carriage rides because you want the horses to live a better life.
Likely Result: Most horses sent to the dog food factory.
My in laws are all from New York. They literally have aneurisms when plans are not followed exactly, and that a high-commander has not been elected to lead everyone through the day. My nuts hurt when I go to NY... I'd roll around in a box of scorpions before I'd ever move there. I have to be drunk from 8am to 12pm when I visit just to get through the day....It's who they wanted. New Yorkers love to be governed...apparently.
It's all rhetoric. If you think the millionaires and billionaires managing hedge funds in NYC will pay one extra cent in taxes or have anything in their business lives change you're as far out as the mayor-elect. If you really want to see the filthy rich manhattanites shake in their boots, try to reform the tax code and impose a flat tax on all income and assets. These folks have an army of tax lawyers and accountants who somehow allow them to LEGALLY pay 15% on multi-million dollar income. Once you realize that these very wealthy people DO NOT pay these "fair share" taxes or become impacted by any of these leftist policies it all starts to make more sense. Who will be most impacted? The 99.99 % of the population absorbing the amnesty of the illegals with their municipal ID badges, hospitals, schools, and all those who serve their communities in such roles.
