Newark sues New York Mayor Bill de Blasio for 'dumping homeless people on the city by giving them "an offer they can't refuse"'

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka's administration has sued New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, accusing the fellow Democrat of dumping NYC's population of homeless people on New Jersey's biggest city.

The lawsuit accuses the de Blasio administration's Special One-Time Assistance, or SOTA, program of using strong-arm tactics to send people across the Hudson River to find a place to live.

'This case concerns an unlawful program of "coerced" migration,' Newark lawyers said in court documents filed in US District Court in New Jersey on Monday.

New York City officials are accused of 'forcing SOTA recipients to accept the proverbial "offer they can't refuse,"' the documents said, explaining that the phrase from the 1972 American Mafia film 'The Godfather' is 'really a command, "Do what we say or else."'

The best solution would be to send those homeless people to San Francisco the weather is not to bad and they can crap on the street and feel right at home. Oh and they will be in Nancy Pelosi's district so you know she will take good care of them.

The homeless take the bribe, then hop on the PATH train and are back in NYC in 30 minutes.
