(h/t jara)

Watch this video from a Staten Island Town Hall meeting on June 27, 2001.

Larry Hanley,President of ATU Local 726,tries to ask then Mayor Rudy Giuliani about an inside deal to grant bus routes to connected private bus companies that contributed to his campaigns...

Not only does he shout him down, but he calls many other bus drivers idiots and morons at the mere suggestion that this was a compromised deal. And how could they even be bus drivers if they dared question his authority? This is the type of authoritarian, bullying tactics Giuliani picked his teeth with in NY. Most of the members stood up and walked out on Rudy. How fitting.

Hmmm, I wonder how Bernard Kerik got to be so tight with him?

Can you help us out?
