Yesterday, July 24, the mayor of new York bill de Blasio rode the subway — from the gym in Park Slope to the West of Brooklyn where he usually trains up to headquarters in the heart of Brooklyn.
As reported by the NY Post, the sources in law enforcement bodies, in anticipation of the trip, de Blasio two metro stations «cleared» from the homeless: Fourth Avenue/Ninth Street, and Jay Street/MetroTech line F.
According to one source, police received a Directive «to ensure that the stations will not be homeless, and the station will look good.» Anonymous added: «it is unfortunate that he cares not about all the subway passengers in new York, but only about yourself.»
«I see a lot of homeless people every day — up to 25 in a week,» said Imtiaz Ali, the seller of the Newsstand at Jay Street/MetroTech. «Today, only saw one».
At the same time in the mayor’s office denied the statements of anonymous sources, emphasizing that this is why they do not appear — because you lie.
Press Secretary of bill de Blasio Eric Phillips noted that «the mayor a few minutes talking with a homeless man on the exit of the subway».
Because of the constant delays and breakdowns in metro new York, a conflict arose between Governor Andrew Cuomo and de Blasio.
«We gave the state $ 2.5 billion for the MTA a couple of years ago. The state used MTA as a piggy Bank, taking out money. The Governor should just come out and say: «we are responsible for it.» They have the resources,» said the mayor.
The Cuomo administration hasn’t commented on it.
