Community “transformation” grants provided under President Obama’s health-care law would help bankroll the effort.
Thanks, Barry.

I wonder how many people this will put out of work.

Reason 548,899 not to go to NYC.  The comments over there are furious.

Sorry, but this doesn't pass the smell test.

It's a trial balloon. Nothing more.

NYC already taxes booze to the point that reducing sales of it would most likely shut down garbage collection, or car washes that wash the poop off of cop cars.

$7 for a pint of beer when Scoobs and I were in NYC.  Gotta love it.
