None of the 3 people running were conservatives, I don't like to re-elect current office holders. IMO it's anyone but Dewy and I'm a conservative. I think he's like a scatter brain. The boondoggle of the airport thing and taxpayer money for AA, then you had that vission 25 thing or was it vision 2, the roads are in shambles with construction all over it's affecting commerce, costing people money- now they want to shut down highway 75 North bound, and start work on north Riverside drive, and in the busy summer time they tear up a major intersection at Admiral & Memorial. As if it can't wait. The RiverSide Jogging Trail is being re-built from I-44 to 56th street right in the middle of the summer and will be closed till October- why does it take 4 months to re-build a 1 mile section of trail that's right in the middle of a high useage area, to be sure the trail needed replacement but why not do in the off season? Then we have more construction on highway 169 & the BA, not to mention neighborhood streets being closed down and torn up, then next year they will be torn up again to put in new water lines. They were tearing up side streets for over two years and still not done. Admiral & Sheridan, Yale & Pine and  side streets  by RiverSide Drive. It's a mess. They need to do one major project and then do the next when the first one is finished. Anyone but Dewy! Choking off commerece is not good. They have Yale a mess and west 71st street is one lane the list is endless. That's not good for the city.

Wow, takes one to know one?
Unfortunately I think this is typical and most voters hold the mayor responsible for things that they (said mayor) have no control over.

While I have experienced disappointment in his term, I have to take into account that much of it was spent cleaning up after his predecessor, which could account for lackluster performance.  The "LightsOn!" stunt was mindless, and more akin to corporate gratuity than public service.

As BC said, if there was a crisis, you wouldn't have five people in your office making six figures. Dewey claimed there was a crisis, but he was also confused by the fact he couldn't just pay his staff whatever he felt like. He made comments about how many people he could hire and he wasn't overspending because he still had open positions.
