 "Ms. Quinn had just started speaking in support of the bill on the steps of City Hall when she heard the epithet, stopped, turned to face the crowd behind her and issued a sharp rebuke.
“That’s not appropriate,” she said. “You stand here talking about democracy and wanting people to listen. In a democracy, people have the right to have different views, and they do not — we do not have the right to then call them names.
“So I would just ask, if that’s what this press conference is about, I’ll go right back inside and continue the work of business, but this is not democracy, calling people names who don’t agree with you. So whoever said that, I’d ask that he apologize.”
When no one responded, she walked away from the lectern and back into City Hall, to the crowd’s astonishment."


She rebuked a low wage worker for calling Bloomberg a pharoh and stormed out of the rally she had supported because the low wage worker had attacked Bloomberg's "free speech." Yep, believe it! If you call Bloomberg "pharoh" Chrissy throws a fit and tells you to shut up because Mike, who owns a media empire and is always on the radio and television has free speech rights that this poor underemployed heckler attacked by calling Bloomberg a pharoh for his opposition to the living wage act that Quinn supposedly supports. And so Mikey's little ego is more important to Christine than the feelings of some poor guy who is probably undernourished because of Bloomberg's opposition to very modest living wage legislation.

And when a (1) (one) livery cab service was found to be working with prostitutes she went nuts. The proposal she pushed became the joke of the month, and the outcome, that cabbies have to watch a slide show is ludicrous.
"...advocates for sex trafficking victims have raised concerns that cabdrivers might discriminate against some customers in an effort to avoid picking up fares who appear to be engaged in sex work. “It was almost discriminating against some women from getting picked up by livery-cab drivers because of this fear that this woman could be involved in trafficking,” said Jimmy Lee, the executive director of Restore NYC, a victims’ advocacy group.
That concern prompted the bill’s sponsors to add language emphasizing that drivers would not be penalized for responding to regular passenger hails. Drivers “may not refuse fares solely based on the appearance of an individual,” the revised bill reads, adding that “it is unlawful to refuse a fare based upon an individual’s actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender.”"

 Yet a major league big media stink went on and on...



Cabbies to Be Trained to Spot & Counsel Hookers

Cabbies to Be Trained to Spot & Counsel Hookers

Of course this mountain gave birth to a mouse.  All cabbies are not to try to determine if their passengers are engaged in sex trafficking, they are to swear they watched this on line slide show when they get or renew their taxi licenses:


You really have to see what all the fuss came down to. Remember it isn't as though aiding sex trafficking was legal before.  It's been a felony forever, but that wasn't enough. Gotta create a public image of taxi drivers as macs.  Click below:

There was a big stink about this a few months ago. much ado about nothing.



So, cabbies are being "cracked down " upon but should not pick and choose their fares based on any suspicions they may have. Makes some sense, since their job is to take people from where they don't want to be to where they do want to be.
