NYC politicians are demanding that Bloomberg form a commission to find out what is going on with NYC’s infrastructure.
Lawmakers called Sunday for Mayor Michael Bloomberg to set up a commission to study the city’s crumbling infrastructure, citing last summer’s blackout, last month’s steam pipe blast and last week’s subway shutdown.
“When disaster strikes, our ability to remain safe and functional depends on the steps we have taken to prepare for instances of tragedy,” said City Councilman David Weprin, chairman of the council’s Finance Committee.
Weprin said the Aug. 1 collapse of the Interstate 35W bridge in Minneapolis was another cause for concern.
Lest we forget there was also a small strip of Brooklyn that was blacked out for a week last summer as well. It didn’t affect as many people as the Queens blackout and therefore got far less media coverage but to the people it effected it sucked just as badly.
I think it goes without saying that when formed, we can officially name this new commission The Commission to Comprehend the Complete and Total Suckage of ConEd and the MTA.

Want a neat little picture by your comments? Get one here.Hm, it’s an interesting article, and I really don’t want to sound like a jerk when I say this (because I swear I’m not trying to be condescending or snobby, even if I sound that way), but I think you mean “affected”. “Effect” is the noun form. It can be used as a verb, but only with an object. So, yeah…

I always confuse effect and affect so you’re probably right. I changed it anyway.
