Last night, Staten Island residents aired their grief about the blizzard in a City Council hearing about the city's crappy response. NY1 has a sampling of some of the statements—"This is the first time of my history of 65 years living in New York, that I ever been not able to go out of my house" and “I'm giving sanitation a break. My anger is directed at New York City Transit, in particular Staten Island buses." And tonight at 6 p.m., there will be a blizzard response hearing in Brooklyn, at Brooklyn Borough Hall.
Yesterday, the Daily News pointed out that no Sanitation Department officials were headed to the hearings, which shamed the city into sending one to the meeting. Punching bag Iggy Terranova told residents, "I would like to extend the department's apology. I will take each concern back to Commissioner [John] Doherty."
Expect some complaints about reckless sanitation workers or tow truck drivers at the Brooklyn hearing (Borough Hall is at 209 Joralemon Street); the Manhattan hearing is tomorrow night, followed by Queens on Friday night and the Bronx on Monday night (details).
