Scumbag NYC mayor failure to fund sanitation department in NYC results in death of a baby girl

and others as snow plows did not clear snow off the streets and emergency workers were not able to get to their destinations.
Meanwhile Bloomberg has enough money to organize and fund an investigation of Arizona gun shows.

"But the primary contributing causes certainly must include the city's failure to clear the streets so the mother could reach the hospital in time."

"Selfish Sanitation Department bosses from the snow-slammed outer boroughs ordered their drivers to snarl the blizzard cleanup to protest budget cuts —a disastrous move that turned streets into a minefield for emergency-services vehicles, The Post has learned"

Bloomberg cut the budget for the sanitation department but had money to waste on his anti-gun propaganda. From the second article you can see the funding for the sanitation department is an ongoing problem. I suppose for people like Bloomberg the ends justifies the means, so I guess these deaths are acceptable sacrifice for Bloomberg, because it is relatively obvious that if you don't plow the snow off the streets in a city like New York people are going to die before emergency workers can get them to a hospital. We will find out later on that Bloombergs investigation will result in no changes and a lot of wasted money.

I'm wondering how many people have died because of Bloombergs failure to fund necessary services while he was funding his anti-gun propaganda group MAIG and investigations a thousand miles away.
