The changes were brought about by initiatives begun during the Koch and Dinkins
administrations - Rudy is just taking credit for it all.
FYI - I like D infinitely better than R, but that's another subject (and if you
really want to talk nasty politics, my "sister-in-law" is married to Roger
Ailes brother - the stories I could tell).

Never said it was a good idea, simply stated the intent that it had on and for
brokerage firms.
However, because my opinions, in some cases, disagree with yours I am
brainwashed??

FYI, crime in NY has gone down, check your stats. I live here and see the
difference. Touristry is up because of lower crime statistics. You can view
these statistics at the link below:
http://www.accessatlanta.com/ajc/crime/newyork/newyork.html
from 1993-1997:
Murder - down 60% (in 1997 - 770 people were murdered out of a population of
7,320,477 - 1 in 10,000 )
Rape - down 23%
Robbery - down 48%
Assault - down 30%
Burglery - down 45%
Larceny - down 33%
Vehicle theft - down 54%
These are real numbers, not an opinion!!! Visit the site and do the math.
