June 28, 2013- Our previous story about Mayor Bloomberg triggered some interesting responses. With the current polls showing Anthony Weiner in the lead for the 2013 mayoral race, if you could, would you re-elect Mayor Bloomberg? Post your comments below…also
Take our survey here
Update July 4, 2013-
Absolutely! During the last 20 years of reasonably good governance (Giuliani followed by Bloomberg), New York has prospered: crime has decreased, families have stayed and grown, and facilities have been restored. The current crop of buffoons running for mayor all promise to eliminate the gains of the past 20 years. If you liked the way New York was in 1989, stick around and you can relive it after the new mayor is elected.
Bloomberg is the best mayor I have experienced since I have lived in New York (1971-). Citi Bike is a fantastic program. For $100 a year you can eliminate moderate length subway rides, get exercise, and generally arrive sooner. Now we just need more dedicated bike lanes, since cycling really isn’t safe without them.
If it was up to me, I’d elect Bloomberg again in a heartbeat, over Quinn, Weiner, or any other guys. All of those candidates are just plain embarrassing to have in the city after Guiliani and Bloomberg. There hasn’t been a single thing I’ve disagreed with him in years, banning and raising taxes on cigarettes, sugary drinks, installing citibikes, building bike lanes, how he handled the Hurricane, and screwing with the unions. And don’t forget the financial discipline, unlike all the previous mayors.
Also the new Taxi design I like as well, its very spacious, I’m looking forward to them.
If they could make all Taxis electric or at the very least hybrids, it would be a major step to cleaning up the air in NYC.
Basically most people don’t realize how good they had it until its gone!
This has to be the most depressing group of pandering clowns the City has ever seen.
