As a result of the fiscal crisis (and, believe it or not, a firefighters' strike in protest of all the firehouse closings and layoffs), 1977 saw quite a few mayoral hopefuls, and of course, Koch beat them all.One interesting tidbit from that period: the subway fare in NYC was held at 50¢ for nearly five years, in spite of the fiscal mess. Of course, the system entered the dark "deferred maintenance" period anyway. I do wonder how different the history of the city in that era might have been, If Ford hadn't told us to "drop dead"... |
