摘要

The life of a mayor is seldom glamorous. There's too much bureaucracy, not enough swagger. These days the drudgery at city hall is worse than ever. Across America, mayors are fretting their days away trying to rub out budget deficits, which most state constitutions do not allow them to have. They also have to contend with rising urban job losses, and ruthlessly cut the services they provide. Some must be dreaming of freedom from their wretched lot. The states' fiscal troubles have hit the headlines. But the crisis in America's cities is equally acute. Worst off by far is New York City. The budget proposal unveiled last month by the mayor, Michael Bloomberg, makes depressing reading. It is a basket of pleas to the state for commuter taxes and aid, and threats to collect more money from parking tickets, all to cut the city's $3.4 billion deficit next year.
