Mayor Bloomberg takes his no-nonsense approach on what to do with the World Trade Center site to the Opinion page of the Wall Street Journal. In editorial titled, "There Should Be No More Excuses At Ground Zero," he outlines how the city has helped speed up development--and how some other things need to be done in order for progress to continue.
The big thing Bloomberg suggests is that Governor Paterson should break up the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation and give its "development responsibilities to the city," which would "eliminate one redundant layer of bureaucracy." That way the city and state's Lower Manhattan Construction Command Center could also take over the Deutsche Bank building demolition as well. The Observer noted how Spitzer once called the LMDC a "farce"--until he put his own appointees in place.(source)

It has been seven years since the disaster. The building developed by private enterprise has been up and occupied for a few years. The two towers controlled by the politicians are not even holes in the grounds. And people want more government!
