Mayor Michael Bloomberg addressed New York regarding the Landmarks Preservation commission on August 3rd 2010. Many citizens were upset that there was going to be a Mosque (Muslim temple) to practice Islam blocks away from ground zero. Ground zero is where a terrorist attack known as 9/11 took place.

Soda, Soda, Soda In the past couple years people all around the nation, whether it's in New York City or an 8th Grade classroom in Michigan, people have been pressed with the question, whether the New York Soda Ban, is a good thing, improving health, or if there is a larger issue.

As an uprising politician of the community and as a youth leader, I find already that it will be very difficult to grasp the attention of the people when it comes to politics. From all of the news media outlets, to magazines and newspapers, politics has been pulled into a bubble of being a bad thing.

Giuliani was America's Mayor and handled the 911 crisis with class and honor. wouldn't say that he saved NYC, but he did do a good job of addressing crime while he was mayor - specifically cleaning up Times Square.

This year, 5,000 more of New York’s citizens will fall victim to an epidemic raging across the country. Obesity can affect anyone, from our children, to our mothers, and even the elderly, and its nestled its way into the plaque filled hearts of 1/3 of America’s population (Bloomberg et al.).

He held the position as mayor of New York City for three terms and honorably remembered for preventing New York City from near
urban cities, especially New York City. Although the policy was first enforced through the Landmark case, police officers in various cities determine whether to carry it out or not.

However, during the 1970s NYC was experiencing a fiscal crisis and was at the brink of bankruptcy. The deterioration of the city allowed for Mayor Bloomberg to shift from a liberal government to a neoliberal government.
