New York City was "sloppy" and underprepared for major rain storm, Brooklyn Borough Pres. Antonio Reynoso says on "The Point"
This week on "The Point with Marcia Kramer," Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso discussed New York City's tough economic straits - and his idea involves his own belt tightening.
Talking Points
It's down with party time in Brooklyn as Reynoso says "ixnay" to spending on local celebrations so it can use the money to ward off budget cuts.
Reynoso also weighed in on the city's immediate response to Friday's severe rain storm, calling the preparations "sloppy."
