They may have been warriors, but in this cause, they were not patriots” (pg.4, 2017). The essence of Mayor Landrieu’s argument is that these statues of Confederate soldiers are not to…

Island, it is plausible that Mayor de Blasio should encourage the Department of Corrections to separate these young offenders from older inmates and encourage education to assist in rehabilitation rather than confinement and captivity. It should also be required that Correctional Officers be retrained on proper conduct and unbiased treatment of all inmates rather than frequently resorting to unwarranted excessive force.

New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani made a statement after 9/11 to the general public. His message to the public was to start buying. He said "show you're not afraid. Go to restaurants. Go shopping." When the world's people asked how they could help, he responded, "Come here and spend money."

Despite the fact that New York City is famed for being blue, our mayor doesn't always claim the same trait. Many New Yorkers go into the voting booths planning to make their decisions based on their morals, future hopes, and cold hard facts. Many people said that they chose de Blasio because of his promise to increase school funding.…

New York Soda Ban, from Mayor Bloomberg himself, are true, then what exactly was the point of making it? You see, although the intentions of the act are well-placed and well-founded, I have to disagree with the idea of the soda ban in its entirety.

It just occurs that the solution proposed by Mayor Bloomberg is not at…
