This Green Proposal Would Put an End to the City That Never Sleeps

"I want to wake up in the city that never sleeps," sang Frank Sinatra in "Theme from New York, New York." That song was released 46 years ago, and now New York City's commie mayor is poised to put an end to that moniker as the city's lawmakers are looking to make the city go dark from 11 pm to 5 am.

INSANITY: New York City lawmakers are trying to pass a bill that would make the city go completely dark after 11 p.m.

Fox News reports that some critics are calling this legislation a "criminal's dream."

Here's more from The New York Post:

A state lawmaker has a dim-witted plan that would force the Empire State Building and nearly all of New York City to go dark after 11 p.m. — but detractors say the plan would let criminals run wild under the cloak of night.
The “Dark Skies Protection Act,” sponsored by Manhattan Assemblywoman Deborah Glick, would require Big Apple businesses and residents to hit the off switch between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. to save energy, help migratory birds and avoid “light pollution,” according to the proposed bill.
The goal is to “preserve and enhance the state’s dark sky while promoting safety for people, birds and other wildlife, conserving energy and reducing our carbon footprint, and preserving the aesthetic qualities of the night sky,” the legislation declares.
