Given Long Island's dependency on NYC will a Mayor de Blasio be bad for it, or a boon if he jacks up city taxes?
Any chance that Long Island can peel some business from the city?
As long as he doesnt bring up non-resident taxes again....it will have little or no affect on Long Island. He is poised to be another Linsey giving away money to every dirtbag and union in the city
He wouldn't be bad for Long Island. The quality of life is going to decline in the city if he is elected. More families will move to the suburbs and businesses will re establish suburban offices as the city will become less business friendly.
You realize that under Dinkins crime began to decline, murders went down due to his Safe Streets, Safe Cities program. In fact crime dropped dramatically over all during his term. He also hired thousands more police officers and got them out on the streets.
the citys downfall has already begun. murders, drugs, poverty, hobos seem to be on the rise especially this year. The filth and vandalism are also visibly increasing. Nycs best days are behind it. De blasio will only hasten the inevitable.

Yep he did an awesome job, that's why he was handily re-elected......oh wait...

I was shocked at how bad things were when I was around Times Square a couple weekends ago.

But he didnt bother to use those cops when Jews were being killed in Crown Heights.
Dinkins was a typical union kisser. He gave them fat money while cutting services and raising taxes. The subways were a disaster filled with dopers,drunks and thugs. Although Giuliani is an egotistical anus he at least cleaned the city up. But wait....Dinkleberry got a nice new tennis stadium for all to use. Well not all.....just the elites.
