I have issues with Rudy but in 1992 this city was a sewer. In his 8 years he and Bratton changed that.CompStat and Broken Windows revolutionized policing. His policies, with Tommy Thompson, changed the face of welfare in the city and the US. We went from 1.5 million to less than 400K on the dole in NYC. I understand that Freepers hate his social policies and opinions, but I live in this town and he made it better. {My kid was and is safer going to the Village for a night out than driving around on a Saturday night on Sunrise Hiway in Rockville Centre. He’s got a lot more than two accomplishments.
Giuliani helped reduce petty crime with his policies. That I gave him credit for. Serious crime went down under Rudy, too. However, serious crime went down in almost every major city during that same time frame, so Rudy had nothing to do with that.
Rockville Centre is more interested in collecting parking fines than real public safety.
