Bloomberg Maintains That Private Schedule Is Off Limits In Aftermath Of Train Derailment

By: Josh Robin

Mayor Michael Bloomberg is refusing to confirm that he stayed in Bermuda hours after Sunday's train derailment, sticking to his long-held policy that his private schedule is off limits - a practice that his successor, Bill de Blasio, says he won't continue. NY1's Josh Robin filed the following report.

There was no sign of golf elbow as Mayor Michael Bloomberg signed bills on Monday afternoon.

There was also no acknowledgement that a day earlier, the mayor was hitting the links at a Bermuda course just after the deadliest train accident in New York in more than two decades.

"You just have to check the public schedule for where I am at any point in time, and it will certainly tell you anything that's germane to the job," he said.
