The Bloomberg administration has one week to release a report conducted by an outside consulting firm that reportedly shows that the city's 911 system has gotten slower to respond to emergencies and become less efficient. A spokesperson for the mayor, Marc LaVorgna, told us last week that the report was a draft: "We don't release incomplete materials or analysis." But according to the Post, Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron didn't buy that argument in court today. "I trust the city is not going to obfuscate," Judge Engoron said, before derisively using the city attorney's argument in releasing his own ruling: "This is just a draft, I can't reveal it."
A City Law Department spokesperson told the paper that the administration was "very disappointed," and that they are considering their options. "We will be consulting on the next move."
A source who has seen the report said it shows that the new $2.3 billion 911 system "is as inefficient and ineffective an operation as you could get."
