What makes this a "crap hole city", as you say, is our educational system, lack of parenting and the Democratic Town Committee who put all these dummies on the Common Council and the BOE.; June 4, 2011 at 5:42 PM

Until the employer can force every employee who is sick to stay home for being sick, there is no public health aspect to this feel good law because your waiter will continue to sneeze and cough all over your salad while he saves his guaranteed sick leave for when he wants to go to the casino, or to the beach when he is well.; June 5, 2011 at 11:28 AM
