Where’s accountability for NYC officials?

Kearny, N.J.: Now that it’s finally been revealed that city officials knew about the dangers of the toxic air at Ground Zero right after 9/11 but kept that knowledge from those who engaged in recovery efforts and those who lived and worked downtown, when can we expect to see the four mayors, corporation counsels and environmental commissioners who covered that up and lied about it for 25 years criminally charged, stripped of their pensions and benefits and sent to jail?

Does Rudy Ghouliani — a guy with shoe polish dripping down his face, caught on video sticking his hands down his pants in the presence of what was presented as an underaged girl, and losing a $148 million case brought against him by two Georgia election workers he defamed — think he’s in a position to suggest it would be untoward for Mayor Mamdani to attend the remembrance ceremony at Ground Zero?

Why does it seem so much easier to fire bad cops in the “backwards” and “regressive” red states than it does in New York City? Why can they can a bad officer (and sometimes even arrest them) within days after a video comes out of blatantly unjustified use of force while it takes years to do anything in NYC? Daniel Pantaleo kept his job for five years after being caught on video using an illegal chokehold on Eric Garner.
