GIULIANI

With authoritative leadership and respect Mayor Rudolph Giuliani accomplished the most for New York. Giuliani has faced many challenges during his time but his hard work ethic allowed Giuliani to take action against these challenges. Giuliani started making changes from the beginning to the end of his mayoral campaign. He had increasingly raised employment, prevented crime, improved the economy, and made New York the safest city. During his eight years in office he accomplished the most for New York and led New York to a prosperous time.
When Giuliani began his time in office, he initiated a workfare program that enabled people that were on welfare to be self-sufficient and to work. The workfare was established because Giuliani as well as New York had more than a million New Yorkers on welfare. This program helped boost the economy and loosen the deficit the government faced. This first challenge was the first of many faced by Giuliani. Another challenge he faced was the significant crime problem. Giuliani adopted a crime prevention program, where he reduced murder and crime by half. He suppressed every form of disorder form graffiti to violence. He changed the mentality of New York by enabling the New York Police Department to use computer mapping he was able to find the exact locations with the highest violent crime rate. During his time in office the crime rate fell by fifty percent. Giuliani successfully was able to have a drop in the crime rate because he was able to change the New York economy. Income and land value rose throughout the city. Neighborhoods were made safe and better living conditions were restored. While Giuliani improved New York’s crime, employment, and crime he also improved the city’s budget. He was able to cut taxes to change the billion dollar budget deficit into a multi-billion dollar surplus. He is single-handily responsible for turning every challenge into a positive benefit.
Giuliani improved New York’s crime, employment, crime, improved the city’s budget. However, I believe Giuliani’s approach on crime even though it was a great tactic if he would have diminished the use of guns even if you have a gun license in New York. Also I believe he could have raised employment if he had built a new structure, tunnel, bridge, and/or road but other than those options Giuliani was the best mayor and had superb plans in making his mark and impacting the culture of New York. He will go down as the best mayor of New York.
