| The Nanny Is Back - Di Blasio Bans Styrofoam In NYC |
| 2015-01-09 |
| Picking up where Bloomberg left off... New Yorkers’ beloved foam takeout and delivery food containers will soon be products of a bygone era. Mayor de Blasio — finishing off an initiative begun by his predecessor — will announce a ban on the environmentally unfriendly material Thursday, according to The New York Times. The ban will start July 1 and cover foam packing peanuts as well as plastic foam cups and takeout containers. City Hall declined to comment when contacted by the Daily News. But a former official for Mayor Bloomberg gave the administration a big pat on the back. |

| #7 Bloomberg Heavy (vs Light). The heavy hand of the 'Inner Party' on things they can appear to actually issue fiats and get results as opposed to doing the difficult and messy stuff which they have demonstratively failed. |

| #3 How is such a topic within the purview of a Mayor? Seems like the executive of the US' largest city would not have to time to come up with crack-pot directives like this. What does this guy spend his time doing, anyways? |
