Our city is made up of anti-government anti-tax individuals and we designed a city where the mayor has no power and no resources, then we marvel at the fact that he somehow doesn't get things done. In a place like New York, the mayor is basically an elected dictator and every mayor defines the city down to its core during his administration. I think Mayor Tony generally wants to do the right things and even has the right ideas, but he's not a very strong individual and he's unwilling to tarnish himself by trying to force through the measures the city really needs. He isn’t a great mayor, but I don’t understand the venom against him.

"Don't rack up credit card debt buying things you don't need." "Don't buy SUV's that get awful mileage." "Don't have kids until you got some money saved up." People would have listened? Nice one, you almost got me with your post. Jokes on me! You are kidding right, blaming the mayor for people spending more than they have/make. So if the Mayor had said;

I thought he was supposed to the Latino Messiah. If you like him as mayor, just wait till he runs for governor. What happened to Mr. Newsweek? I thought he was supposed to the Latino Messiah.
