If he wants better Homeland Security for NYC, Bloombo Dicto can begin by restoring first responders.
After Mayor Michael Bloomberg proposed a city budget that would close up to 20 fire houses, the th3rd t3rm mayor last week asked Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to increase the city's federal anti-terror funding.
Before he asks the federal government to supplement the city's costs of funding programs that are important to preventing or responding to threats by terrorists, the mayor should see what the city can do for itself, namely, restore the cuts he's threatened to make to FDNY.
The mayor must seriously take into consideration that he has a role in protecting what clearly is the terrorists' No. 1 target.
The city's security is a city responsibility, and we can't afford to let local politicians get in the way. The way that the mayor is playing budgetary games with the FDNY's presence in many neighborhoods is irresponsible in the minimum, and is a threat to the city's security in the maximum.
This post is a satirical and tragic twist of a real news article published by The New York Daily News. You can't make this stuff up.
