De Blasio ‘getting back at us’ by not plowing: UES residents By Jennifer Gould Keil and Frank Rosario January 21, 2014 \| 6:07pm Photo: Anne Wermiel/NY Post MORE ON: polar vortex Snowstorm slams Northeast, grounds thousands of flights Winter storm pounds Northeast Live coverage of polar vortex 2.0 Christie cancels inauguration party over polar vortex storm It really is a tale of two cities — this time with the tony Upper East Side getting the shaft! It really is a tale of two cities — this time with the tony Upper East Side getting the shaft! Huge swaths of the city’s wealthiest neighborhood had been not been plowed by early Tuesday evening, leaving 1-percenters out in the cold, according to the city’s own map of snow-plower activity. “He is trying to get us back. He is very divisive and political,” said writer and life-long Upper East Side mom Molly Jong Fast of Mayor de Blasio. “By not plowing the Upper East Side, he is saying, ‘I’m not one of them.’ But we have everyone in this area on the Upper East Side. We have rich people, middle class people, and housing projects. We have it all.” There appeared to be no snow plowing between East 59th and 79th Streets and between Second and Fifth Avenues. Modal TriggerThe plow map as of 2:45 pm. “I can’t believe de Blasio could do this. He is putting everyone in danger,” said Barbara Tamerin, who was using ski poles to get around 81st Street and Lexington Avenue. “What is he thinking? We’re supposed to get up to a foot of snow and nobody on the Upper East Side is supposed to blink an eye? I can barely get around and I’m on snow shoes! All of the buses are stuck and can’t go anywhere. He’s crazy. We need Mayor Bloomberg back!” Martin Cisse, 45, who works at a flower shop near 85th and Lex, said he can’t understand why the city would fail to plow the UES. “DeBlasio is trying to hurt the more wealthy people by ignoring us but there’s no logic to that,” Cisse said. “There are a lot of blue collar working people out here driving trucks and trying to get around too.”

If DeBlasio was a Republican, reporters would find the one elderly person who died of a stroke when the ambulances were delayed by unplowed streets, and call DeBlasio a murderer.

There is a special election today in Virginia in which control of the state senate is up for grabs. The Feds couldn’t wait one more day? Of course not. Guess who wins control of the senate.
