I thought Bill Thompson's job was to facilitate theft. What's wrong with a little $3.6 million?
Bloomberg is one of the best mayor's this city has ever had and just because he's visiting Ohio we shouldn't merely write it off as him testing the waters for a presidential bid. He has lowered crime, improved student performance and improved safety.
DO THE MATH!!
Imus makes insensitive remarks about female basketball players and folks want his head on a platter.
Thompson is supposed to be the fiscal watchdog and can't even keep a lid on the money in his own kennel.
Send him to the DOGHOUSE! This is HIS blunder!
Does Thompson honestly thinks that he should be considered a serious candidate for Mayor when he can't keep an eye on one agency?!
the perpetrators are to politically connected. They all work in the Comptrollers office that's why no one dares to look into this.

obviously from the bloomberg camp - let's keep those presidential hopes alive.
bloomberg can never be president. He's a clueless putz who could never relate to working class people in Ohio.
He's a clown, end of story.
I work for Bill Thompson. He is the most detached comptroller in history. No one ever sees him or his executive staff. God only knows what else is happening while he plays golf.
obviously written by someone who is so out of touch he cant even acknowledge the dedication that thompson brings to the office, and the professionalism.
