It’s quite incredible really, and eminently commendable, that a just-elected mayor, who is barely in office but has already taken a demonstrative stand against slumlords in minority neighborhoods of NYC, took the time to throw himself into the mix against this atrocity.
Where are all the rest of Democrats in Congress and the Senate and throughout the country?
