Superstorm Sandy

[ezdays]

I know there are a lot of frustrated people, and that things can't get restored to normal soon enough, but I just read something that borders on ridiculous. Utility workers trying to restore power lines in Bridgeport, Conn, were pelted with eggs and other things because the mayor of Bridgeport said that they were being "shortchanged" while more affluent areas were being restored first. As a result, the power company pulled their workers until the city could provide protection for them. True or not, (and the power co. denies it), isn't that kind of like shooting yourself in the foot? If it were me, I'd have bound and gagged the mayor and stuck him in a basement until power was restored..
