Mayor Mike Bloomberg wants to control every aspect of New Yorkers’ lives. First he went after salt and soda. Now he is targeting something he himself enjoys. Bloomberg want to restrict the number of establishments that s alcohol. This is a throwback to the prohibition, which was supported by Progressives.
Mayor Bloomberg yesterday scuttled a controversial city proposal to slash the number of booze establishments to curb excessive and underage drinking.
Critics had slammed the measure as a jobs-killer.
The Post yesterday revealed the Health Department’s plan, which drew outrage from responsible city drinkers and merchants.
Asked if the mayor now backed the effort to limit businesses that can serve alcohol, Bloomberg spokesman Stu Loeser answered, “No.”
So The Mayor denies he planned it? He may not implement it in one shot. Bloomberg will begin restricting alcohol sales, step by step. This is a pure control over personal liberty by Progressive Big Government.
