I don’t have a dog, so I am all about raising the fine for leaving dog crap on the sidewalk from $100 to $250. I am pretty sure I would feel differently if I had a dog because I am really not ok with having warm poo in my hand.
Mayor Bloomberg agrees with me, although I’m not sure whether or not he has a dog.
“The bottom line is the fines have to be large enough to deter the activity that you are trying to prevent,” Bloomberg said. “If they are a joke, people will treat them like a joke.”
Although I have never yelled at anyone for leaving their dog’s poo behind for me to step in, I have allowed myself to feel superior and, also, laughed at how karma ensured that they will one day get theirs.
Bloomberg, however, is not as passive as I am.
“I’ve a number of times yelled out the window of the car, ‘Make sure you clean up after that dog!’” the mayor said. He added with a smile, “As far as I know the governor has always done that.”
How did a post about fines for not cleaning up dog poo turn into piece comparing and contrasting myself with Bloomberg? Oh, I know why. It happened because I couldn’t figure out why I was writing the post in the first place.

Want a neat little picture by your comments? Get one here.What cracks me up is that these comments were made at the opening of The Armory Show, an art fair the mayor attended on Thursday, but all I’ve seen reported anywhere are his thoughts on dog poo. Guess our minds really are in the gutters.
