No, it didn't happen in New York, but look how the mayor of Newark treats his constituents. A woman named Ravie Rave tweeted at Mayor Cory Booker that her 65-year-old father needed help shoveling his driveway on New Year's Eve. Booker tweeted back, "I will do it myself where does he live?" After conferring with Mr. Rave, Booker tweeted, "Just talked 2 him & I'll get 2 his Driveway by noon. I've got salt, shovels & great volunteers." Within twenty minutes, Booker was on the scene with his crew. R u listening @mikebloomberg? Because we think pot should be legal and would like you to bring a big fat bag of weed over to our... middle age, housebound father.
