New York Times:

For years, aides to Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg routed hundreds of thousands of dollars in city money to at least two politically connected nonprofit groups in violation of government contracting rules, according to records and interviews.

The mayor's office, from 2002 to 2006, gave $1.1 million to Agudath Israel of America Community Services and more than $400,000 to Ohel Children's Home and Family Services, using a little-known pot of discretionary money that it controls.

The closing of the NYT comment section so early is a joke. Although I am surprised they published the story at all. It should have been front page news, instead they ran the silliness about taxicabs. I am equally surprised that the Huffington Post put the story up - and they did not do so until late in the afternoon. Bloomberg is not a progressive - HE IS A REPUBLICAN - and he is the richest man in New York City. The papers and these web sites should stop giving him a free pass just because he has embraced a few "green" ideas. He is a phony who has subverted deomocracy.
