Diblasio needs a realty tv show.

As a NJ resident, get out the popcorn, sit back and watch what happens to NYC...more to come!

This is worth watching...from a distance.

This is the guy who wants to replace horse and carriage rides with electric cars. Did not anyone even take a peek into his background before the election????????

So this guy just handed out vacation time to employees at the expense of the business owner. Only liberals think this way.

The economy is not strong enough to implement this law without hurting small business, consumers, or both

San Francisco passed a similar law in 2007.

Current unemployment rate in San Francisco: 4.8%.

As the left would say.."If they can't afford it then they shouldn't be in business to begin with."

He is an Obamabot. All the people who got freebies from Obama doubled down for more freebies from DeBlasio. Watch tax rates and goods and services soar in NYC.

Why are people hating on de Blasio? I think he's the best thing to happen to New York City in like, forever. This is the exactly the kind of thing we need for our workers - why should people have to go to work sick and get everyone else else sick as well?

I'd love to see this man elected as President - perhaps he'll enable this place to be more like Europe, with mandated vacation days, universal health care, all that good stuff that conservatives hate so much.

For all you folk that think we're headed in the wrong direction, you better get used to it, as that's where we're going - stripping power away from "big guys" and handing it to the "little people" - i.e., the ones that do the actual work in this country.

Go de Blasio go!

How is sick time "power"?? You earn your vacation and sick time.......at least everywhere I've ever been employed or now known as PTO. I guess you think it should just be gifted to you. Typical.

Good for him! Looks like he is trying to protect and give more rights to the working man.
