Doesn’t Grandstanding Count?

Hizzoner highlights some elected officials’ lack of executive experience:

Mayor Bloomberg lashed out yesterday at politicians who criticized the city’s school bus route bungling, saying they had “no experience doing anything.”

A visibly angry Bloomberg blasted Public Advocate Betsy Gotbaum and City Council members when asked about the critics’ stance that the cost-saving overhaul is a flop.

“You know, you’re quoting people who have no experience in doing anything, so I don’t quite know how to answer it,” he said.

Bloomberg then questioned whether the politicians knew enough to criticize the work of high-priced consultants Alvarez & Marsal, who drew up the reorganization that cut 116 routes.

“And if those people who haven’t done anything in terms of management think that they know what to do, they should apply for jobs and we’ll be happy to do it,” he said.
