New York has been embarrassed by corruption and lags behind in too many important categories. We can do better.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
New York State is upside down and backwards; high taxes and low performance. The New York State government was at one time a national model. Now, unfortunately, it's a national disgrace. Sometimes, the corruption in Albany could even make Boss Tweed blush.
I care about making New York better.
The trouble with New York today is that it's lost its balance. I love the new, greener New York, but it takes all kinds of worlds to make a World.
I look at the corruption in Albany and we cannot accept that.
The knife of corruption endangered the life of New York City. The scalpel of the law is making us well again.
These are tough times, and the New Yorkers I have met are facing economic adversity with grace and dignity. They worry about their future, care about their neighbors and hope this storm will pass so they can focus on better days ahead.
As I've always said, the way New Yorkers back us we have to produce for them.
That's the great thing about New York, there's always something to do.
The art and culture that is New York, communications, finance, all these things help make up New York. The rest of the country should be happy that we are what we are.
We've made tremendous strides and changes in the City of New York since 1994.
