On Monday, we asked Mayor de Blasio why the city even allows helicopters — with their noise and pollution — when the total benefit to the city coffers is a mere $2- to $3-million in rent at two city-owned heliports. That plus all the other news of the day.
A City Council effort to rein private helicopters that locals say has terrorized the city with noise and pollution will do little to actually curb the problem, advocates say.
