Rudy did what no one thought could be done. He brought NYC back to being the premier city in the US. He got rid of crime, he cleaned up Times Square, he forced the street peddlers into a designated area to protect the Harlem businesses. He made the subways safe again. He got the tax on clothing reduced in time for back to school shopping. He got rid of graffiti, public urination, squeegie men, turnstyle jumpers.....it was called QUALITY OF LIFE.
IOW, Rudy saved NY......twice!
