The income tax cuts of $2.0 billion from 1996-2001 offset the $1.8 billion in income tax increases under Mayor Dinkins. A modest $200 million tax savings. Tax money did pour into city coffers and the city govt grew larger and larger. But Rudy added only about 1500 new uniformed police officers. Rudy did manage to add 15,000 new teachers to the city employment rolls, enlarging the membership of two of the nations MOST liberal organizations, the National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers.

Rudy did a good job reducing crime rates. Crime rates also came down under Dinkins and Mayor Bloomberg too. Not a good enough reason for conservatives to vote for any of those three liberals to be POTUS.

There is no comparison between the crime rates under Dinkins and under Giuliani. Under Giuliani the major crime rates were not just reduced, they were drastically reduced. The murder rate was 2,400 the year he took office. It went down to 960. His Democrat enemies love to give the credit to Dinkins and say that Giuliani merely rode the wave of a national decrease in the murder rate. All Giuliani haters seem to use the same arguments against him. Also, the violent crime rate is rising dramatically under RINO Bloomberg. BTW, I'm not a Rudy for Prez supporter. I'm undecided. I don't share his Liberal views on guns, abortion and many other issues.
