I think the only real explanation is personal pique. She is offended that the state Senate would dare to reject her chosen nominee and views it as a threat to her power and independence. She's so convinced she's in the right that she refuses to back down.

I really can't get over how STUPID this is. There are outdoor dining sheds all over the city during the winter, bothering no one & getting lots of use on the MANY days the temperature goes above 50.

Legislators elected to represent this area all support the bike lane — but it doesn't matter, because the mayor (who made major bike lane pledges during his campaign) makes decisions about safety based on the whims of an advisor who openly despises non-auto transportation.

Driver kills a woman and flees the scene. NYPD finds him a day later, presses no charges, and assures @Gothamist "he's not a criminal" b/c "he didn't know he struck the victim." How do you get away w/ murder in @BilldeBlasio 's New York? Do it with a car.
