NY Mayor De Blasio denies that garbage & recyclables piled high on the Upper East Side is punishment or retribution, but it’s starting to look more like that is exactly what is happening. First it was snow removal, and now it’s the garbage. Mr. De Blasio seems to be using, or not using, public works to punish his enemies.
De Blasio Garbagegate Scandal Leaves Garbage Piling Up “Higher than SUVs” on NY Upper East Side
Amazingly, De Blasio’s block in Brooklyn’s Park Slope is clean as a whistle, while the Upper East Side is drowning in uncollected trash waste that is “piling up higher than the SUVs”.
This kind of gutless Democrat corruption should not, and cannot be tolerated, or the corrupt bastards will continue to abuse their power. NY’s Upper East Siders should all get together and force an investigation into the De Blasio Garbagegate Scandal.
Upper East Siders still steamed about last week’s botched snow removal unleashed a new torrent of outrage Monday over the massive mounds of trash piling up on sidewalks.
Dozens of piles of plastic bags stuffed with refuse marred the posh neighborhood, despite official claims that “around-the- clock” efforts had cleared away all of the city’s “backlogged material.”
“This is bulls–t. First, de Blasio didn’t take care of us during the snowstorm, and now he’s letting us stew in our own garbage and recyclables,” griped Michael Kenney, 68.
Another resident, Mary-Anne Azzopardi, 53, said the situation was “just too much. You can’t walk on either side of the street without bumping into a garbage bag.”
She added, “This trash has been piling up for over a week. Thank God it’s not the summer, or the smell would be unbearable.”
Andrew Carillo, 47, noted that the waste was “piling up higher than the SUVs” and said Mayor de Blasio “should be the people’s mayor, taking care of everybody.”
He added, “Ignoring us isn’t going to make the neighborhood go away.”
Meanwhile, on de Blasio’s block in Brooklyn’s Park Slope, the only trash to be seen was a bunch of construction debris from a home-remodeling project — neatly tucked away in a tarp-covered dumpster.
Last week, de Blasio — who in 2010 blasted then-Mayor Bloomberg for allegedly failing the “outer boroughs” during the massive post-Christmas blizzard — initially denied a Post report that the Upper East Side, where Bloomberg lives, had been neglected in last week’s storm.
But he quickly reversed himself after visiting the area, saying “more could have been done” and ordering the Sanitation Department to “double-down on cleanup efforts.”
De Blasio spokeswoman Marti Adams said sanit crews were “rapidly working” to collect accumulated rubbish, adding, “Any allegations that neighborhoods were chosen over others for trash removal are totally absurd.”
