Remember the baby who died waiting for an ambulance?Remember the other folks who died because they had to wait for medical assistance because the ambulances couldn't get to them?

Selfish Sanitation Department bosses from the snow-slammed outer boroughs ordered their drivers to snarl the blizzard cleanup to protest budget cuts -- a disastrous move that turned streets into a minefield for emergency-services vehicles, The Post has learned.
Miles of roads stretching from as north as Whitestone, Queens, to the south shore of Staten Island still remained treacherously unplowed last night because of the shameless job action, several sources and a city lawmaker said, which was over a raft of demotions, attrition and budget cuts.
Apparently a number of sanitations workers with balls and consciouses confessed to being instructed to do this.
My response: Anyone who gave these instructions definitely has blood on their hands and ought to be charged with some offense related to their deaths. Anyone who carried out these orders ought to be fired. The folks who 'fessed up ought to be promoted as an example to the rest.

Let't see who steps forward.
