What really needs done is for this article to be disected into opinions and facts. Throw out the opinions and make a list of the facts for Team Rudy to refute. Fact examples might be:

On the day he left office, the head count of city workers was the highest in history.
Giuliani's borrowing practices increased the city's debt burden by 50 percent.
