City & State September Sweet September 17 bills

17 bills shepherded by Spkr Julie Menin are up for consideration next month in the City Council. Included in the piece is a short form video by the Speaker outside City Hall. The pattern of the elected public officials over the past quarter century has been one of abject self dealing and craven irresponsibility. Like Donald J Trump or Vladimir Putin in Russia BIKE ZEALOTS have been cozened to work their despicable psychopathology until a weary and wounded public arises. Well the time is now for public safety and sanity.**** https://www.cityandstateny.com/policy/2026/08/concerned-about-e-bikes-julie-menin-looking-them/415206/?oref=csny-homepage-river

NYT 17 bills up for vote:public safety moto world

Well after more than a quarter century it appears that push is coming to shove. The public is mad as hell and not willing to take it anymore. The elected officials have apparently decided that money is less important than doing the right thing-or hindering possible re-election.******https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/04/nyregion/ebike-electric-scooter-regulations-nyc.html

NYP 5/16/26 New York Bike Tyrants Mauling the City

This opinion piece in the Post is written by a member of the conservative Manhattan Institute. It takes a clear eyed look at the hubris and zealotry that has bamboozled the pols, arm twisted, packed community boards and wreaked unnecessary havoc and harm on the public. Charles Komanoff and Mark Gorton are too smart and too wealthy for the public's own good. One top aide to an elected public official characterized Komanoff as "delusional." Mark Gorton was an zealous support of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for president. Nuff said. The delivery apps are focussed soley on profit-regardless of consequences. There we are- HUBRIS & AVARICE.****https://nypost.com/2026/05/17/opinion/gothams-tyrannical-bike-kings-are-taking-over-the-city/
