When the city budget went into the tank, he didn't go into austerity mode. I suspect that Mark Green would have, just to demonstrate his credibility. Bloomberg, whose name adorns almost every trading desk in the world, didn't have to. And like I said, his admin is widely seen as honest and competent - I can't remember anyone ever saying that about a previous mayor.
