Mayor Bloomberg
Bloomberg's Not-So-Deep Freeze
According to the Daily News, on September 7 the Mayor told top aides that the "Office of Management and Budget would approve only 'critically necessary' hires."
Since then, there have been a lot of new hires.
The best line in the article is probably this: "The mayor's office hired 26 salaried staffers since Sept. 8 for $1.2million a year; 19 are paid with city funds."
Seriously, what kind of hiring freeze is ignored by the guy who ordered it?
