STATEMENT BY MAYOR MICHAEL R. BLOOMBERG ON BEING NAMED ONE OF AMERICA'S BEST MAYORS BY TIME MAGAZINE

"New York City has come a long way over the past four years.  By making not just the tough decisions, but the right decisions, we've taken our City through a fiscal crisis, put our economy back on track, driven crime down to historic lows, improved our quality of life and begun to reform a school system that failed generations of our children.  Thanks to the hard work and dedication of the thousands of City employees that I am privileged to lead, Time magazine has recognized that the City is going in the right direction and we are grateful for this honor."
