You are SO wrong. Your state flag is CO. You state “The decrease in crime throughout NYC began under Mayor Dinkins.”
You obviously did not live in NY during the Dinkin or Rudy years.
Rudy cleaned up NYC. They were all against him, especially the NYFD and NYPD. They HATED Rudy. Why? Because of his cuts.
I remember because I lived in it and through it.
“Mayor Bloomberg seems to have done the best job fighting crime in NYC.”
Again, you obviously know NOTHING regarding NYC. Bloomberg INVITES crime, including inviting ALL illegals to come to NYC. How’s that for “fighting” crime.
Prior to Rudy, anyone living outside the NYC boroughs would only go to NYC, under their own peril.
After Rudy cleaned it up, it was a completely different place.
Since I still live here and go to NYC, only when I must, I notice the difference already. NYC is going back to it’s pre-Rudy years, under Bloomberg.
P.S. DINKINS SUCKED AND STILL DOES!!
>>>>>>P.S. DINKINS SUCKED AND STILL DOES!!
So does Giuliani and Bloomberg. Frankly, after your passionate defense of Rudy, sounds like you'd vote for him to be potus in a NYC minute! Haven't we been here before, you and I? LOL
>>>>>You are SO wrong. Your state flag is CO.
Yeah, southern Colorado is a great place to live, but I'm not wrong about Rudy or about past and present NYC politics. My post was factual and correct.
I was born and raised in NYC. Over the years I witnessed first hand the changes the city went through during Dinkins, Rudy's and Bloomberg's time as Mayor. Between family and friends, my trips back east and the internet, I am well informed of all the details and all gossip. One doesn't have to be a resident of the Big Apple or a genius to stay informed on current events. Get real!
NYC remains a very liberal city, more so today then at any time in the past. Democrats run the city and they have continued to tax and regulate NewYawkers to death. While crime rates began to fall under Dinkins and continued to drop off under Rudy. Under Bloomberg, crime rates dropped to their lowest levels ever. Get your facts straight.
>>>>>Bloomberg INVITES crime, including inviting ALL illegals to come to NYC. How’s that for “fighting” crime.
Rudy wasn't any different. The fact is Rudy protected illegal immigrants when he was Mayor and NYC was a quasi sanctuary city. Rudy also supported the Bush-Kennedy-McCain comprehensive immigration reform of 2005. Rudy says amnesty and a path to citizenship is okay as long as illegals pay a fine for breaking the law. More liberalism!
Btw, Rudy increased the budgets for NYC and increasd the number of city employees. Get your facts straight!
