I can only imagine the shock of the readers when they find out that a NYC official was being bribed. This astonishing discovery is akin to opening your drawer and finding socks.
Don’t make it sound like NYC invented bribery. Does it happen? Yes, apparently so, and apparently more often than one would wish.
But take a look at just about any major metropolitan area and you will find an economic climate ripe for picking. Whether it’s CT or NJ politicians, or the little folks who wield a lot of control over crane approvals in NYC, having a “second” employer isn’t unusual.
How much of LA or Chicago was built on corruption that went much higher up the political food chain than a simple inspector?
NYC is building hotels and apartments because a lot of you rubes from the sticks seem to think this is the place to be. With growth comes problems, but the City Never Sleeps.
C’mon, Big Apple Boy, give us all a break. You invented, perfected, and continue to refine the art of bribery. Does it occur everywhere – yes. But the rest of the country pales in comparison to the Goombas of NYC. Don’t validate your commonalities by pulling the rest of us down to your level.

chill-out guys
I’m surprised his name is delayo……
Ok people, let’s get real, anyone who thinks that bribery only exists in NYC and not in “their”community must live with their head buried in the sand.
I happens everywhere and sometimes does cost lives.
Remember the Big Dig?
But can you blame them??
We all know how hard that crane operators licensing exam is!!
