 Bill de Blasio deserves a D+ for his performance as NYC’s mayor

Mayor de Blasio came into office on the first day of 2014 with big dreams and bigger promises. He planned to take on all the major issues of New York City, transforming it from top to bottom.

The mayor, limited by law to only two terms, has a little less than 18 months left before he leaves office, and economic pressures mean that he won’t have a lot of room to throw his elbows around, fiscally speaking. So it’s worth taking a look at how his performance has stacked up against his promises.

Ten minutes after he was sworn in by Bill Clinton that bitterly cold morning, newly minted Mayor de Blasio announced, “We recognize a city government’s first responsibilities: to keep our neighborhoods safe; to keep our streets clean; to ensure that those who live here — and those who visit — can get where they need to go in every borough.”

Apparent junkies turn stretch of NYC’s Midtown into a shooting gallery

It’s the Great Black Tar Way.

A cluster of junkies has turned Broadway into a shooting gallery, injecting drugs unhampered in broad daylight and then shuffling around in a zonked-out stupor, seemingly oblivious to the Midtown bustle around them, The Post has learned.

If that wasn’t enough, the addicts are peppering the area with used syringes, turning individual planters on 40th Street and Broadway into mini needle parks.

“They’ve taken over the tables, blatantly using needles and shooting up heroin all day long,” said a local worker ...
