This from the NY Sun:

Mayor Bloomberg
weighed in on the pooper-scooper debate yesterday, saying he supports
stiffer fines for those who fail to clean up their dog’s waste.

Last week, the state Assembly voted to raise the maximum penalty for
pooper-scooper violations from $100 to $250. It is no surprise that the
mayor supports the bill, which still needs approval from the state
Senate and governor, given that the city Department of Sanitation
requested the state take up the issue.
