And finally, Thanks For Nothing is brought to us this week by Kelly v. DiNapoli, in which police officer was ordered not to enter a home that had collapsed during Hurricane Sandy until a “technical response unit” could be dispatched. The cop – responding to the “blood-curdling” screams coming from the residence – ignored the order and fought his way into the building where he rescued a woman who had been impaled and pinned to the floor. In the process, he sustained devastating physical injuries. His reward? The denial of disability benefits because the incident hadn’t been an “accident” and the guy was just engaged in the ordinary course of his duties. Let that be a lesson to all you would-be heroes (a disproportionate number of which, of course, practice public finance law.)
