The mayor’s spending surge—the budget has increased 23 percent under his watch—is a good example of what government can do to improve the lives of city residents when its resources are directed by a wise hand. He didn’t squander the money, but rather invested in crucial quality-of-life issues that have resulted in the city increasing its appeal as a world-class city, friendly to families, corporations and tourists. He increased spending on parks by 27 percent, schools by 18 percent and information technology by 300 percent. He has also made sure the Police Department has the resources it needs to do its job.
The results? Cleaner parks, better schools and safer streets. A recipe for urban success.
