He did manage to cope with the mess the other three left behind in rather challenging economic times, and he was rather creative in getting the private sector to do things when the city couldn't afford to do so. "Vest pocket parks" for one, concerts sponsored by local businesses in the streets in all five boroughs, and managing to get funding for all those new subway cars that came in on his watch. He was the first "limousine liberal" republican from the "Silk Stocking" district of Manhattan and in all fairness, he did fairly well given the realities.Wagner was a bum. So were the others before him. I think Wagner will go down as the poster child for neglect though ... then again it was Dinkins that came close to getting as much done as Lindsay did and like Lindsay, Dinkins never got the credit he deserved. Giuliani took it. But then this isn't the place for that. Suffice it to say though that the truth of the city's problems isn't what we get to hear. And while Moses was a "dooshbag," you have to look higher up the food chain for the actual culprits. Had they not endorsed what Moses had done, Moses would have woke up in cement shoes. Such is politics no matter how high and mighty your own ego may place you. :) |
