I was reading the paper from home today and I came across a story about NY's fine mayor. He likes to visit the island as often as he can. He owns an estate there......and he travels with an two armed cops!!! Are you kiddin me?!?!?!?!?!
Here is the link to the story from the Royal Gazette:
The Royal Gazette (http://www.royalgazette.com/rg/Article/article.jsp?articleId=7da4da730030008§ionId=60)
And from the Times:
New York?s Mayor, but Bermuda Shares Custody - NYTimes.com (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/26/nyregion/26bermuda.html)
The mayor also takes along a police detail when he travels, flying two officers on his private plane and paying as much as $400 a night to put them up at a hotel near his house; the city pays their wages while they are there, as it does whether Mr. Bloomberg is New York or not. Guns are largely forbidden in Bermuda — even most police officers do not use them — but the mayor’s guards have special permission to carry weapons. A spokesman for the Police Department declined to comment.
