Questions for the End of 2008

image● How come if they gave a rate hike to the cabbies because gas went to five bucks a gallon -- then it hasn't come down now that it’s at a buck and a half?

● How come if there's a cop outside of every club anyway, it isn’t made official that the policeman’s job should be to keep the cabs from honking, the smokers from chatting too loudly, and to regulate tons of other stuff that bouncers without real authority (except unacceptable force) are told to handle now? With the exception of places with liquor licenses, a business in New York can rent a cop.

● Why not create a club czar who can oversee the problems and potentials of clubs? He or she can encourage tourism and community/club cooperation. They can follow that "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" lead with a "wake up in the city that never sleeps" campaign, which can create real tax revenues and real jobs. Hotels, restaurants, Broadway, cabs, delis, shops, and thousands of et ceteras will benefit. The film industry has a film czar making sure television, video, and movie shoots are coddled to, and the film industry generated $5 billion last year -- nightclubs generated $10 billion.
