Mayor Bloomberg was in Brooklyn today.

Mayor Bloomberg walked through the deep snow in Brooklyn today.

Mayor Bloomberg walked through the deep snow in Marine Park, Brooklyn with Marty Markowitz by his side and delivered a Junior’s cheesecake to a retired teacher name Mary Lyons. The mayor also thanked local hero Ryan Merola, who shoveled Lion’s Marine Park sidewalk.

Meanwhile, questions abound as to why the snow removal took so long.

Was it because the Mayor delayed calling the storm a blizzard thus delaying emergency protocols?

Was it, as has been reported (or rumored), sabotage by Sanitation Workers as a protest against upcoming budget cuts and lay offs?

Was it the unique nature of this snowstorm?

As I said, questions abound.  The New York City Council will hold a hearing on the subject on January 10th.
