Man learns casino losses not deductible
NEW YORK, Aug. 14 (UPI) -- New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg says if the issue were left to him, stand-up Segway motorized devices would not be banned from the city's streets.
Bloomberg said at a City Hall signing ceremony Thursday for a bill regulating bicycle-driven pedicabs that he would have liked a provision in the bill overturning the city's long-standing ban on Segways in the streets, the New York Daily News reported Friday.
"It's just idiotic, I would let all of these things go on," he said. "Unfortunately, we have a democratic process and this (pedicab) bill is what we could negotiate. And I'll sign the bill, quite honestly, but I hear you. I just can't explain why people are afraid to change."
