While Mayor Bloomberg is not my favorite Mayor, he did the right thing in this instance. And I admire him for riding the subway on his way to work this morning.
Who was your favorite mayor of NYC? Mine was Fiorello La Guardia. He was mayor when I was a baby, so I have no personal memory of him, but my mother referred to him as if he were a saint! Then when I read up on him, I discovered that he, by collaborating with FDR, literally attached the outer boroughs to Manhattan and made NYC what it is today.
Imagine that--a Republican mayor and a Democratic President working together for the betterment of the people!
