New Mayor

New York City is getting a new mayor starting the first day of the new year. The current one was here for eight years and because of the term limit he can not run any longer, unless he has as much money as Bloomberg, who bought himself a third year. Ok, it is time that this mayor is leaving because he didn't do much for the City.

Even though the current mayor is a democrat as well as the mayor elect, he is going ahead showing that everything done so far was wrong and he is different, and he will change them. I guess it is required by protocol that the current leadership submit its resignation and whomever the new guy wants will be asked to stay on.

I don't remember if I mentioned it before that the new person is black. The current police commissioner already announced that he was retiring at the end of the year. He is an Irish American who came up from the ranks. Yesterday the new police commissioner was announced. An African American woman who comes from one of the neighboring counties. 

In the 1990s New York had an African American mayor by the name of David Dinkins. He was not good at all, and after one term of four years he was shown the door. He was a tennis fan, and as far as I remember the only good thing he did, he got the planes coming in and going out of LaGuardia Airport rerouted so they wouldn't fly over the US Open Tennis Tournament and disturbing everybody with the jet noise.

I don't know if this mayor will be able to come up with such a gigantic good for the people, but I am sure that if he does not perform, four years from now he can look for another job.
