Should be prison time for the Union Bosses. But this is Congress who failed to pass laws making this a criminal offense. They should be brought up on manslaughter charges for the deaths they contributed to.

From the Glodsmith article:
Back in 1996, a similar monster storm struck our city. It dumped 20 inches, closed airports, and left drifts 20-feet high.I don't want him for president but I sure wouldn't mind Rudy as mayor if I were in a big city.Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani not only declared a snow emergency and ordered all nonessential vehicles off the road, he took 3,300 city buses out of service so they wouldn't block sanitation trucks and rescue vehicles.
Giuliani also asked then-Gov. George Pataki for help. Pataki dispatched 400 national guardsmen with 100 Humvees that were used as ambulances to transport medical supplies and health workers.
