In modern memory? It's a toss up between Lindsy, Dinkins and De Blasio

Some memorable low lights under Mayor Lindsay:

Garbage strike: no garbage picked up for 10 days

Huge Blizzard where the outer borough's were never plowed

Huge clash with teachers union. A SEVEN month teachers strike! A lot of anti-Semitism pitting the mostly jewish teachers against the minority students.

We're talking violent crimes, like murders. In the low 1990's there were over 2000 murders a year.

I'm not old enough to remember Dinkins (he was in office when I was born) but he has always been the standard against whom worst mayor is measured. At this point, DE Blasio is either tied with him or close to it!

Do the liberals here realize how their ideology is killing our beautiful city?

Look at the history of our worst and best mayors. How sad.

I think the real question to ask is who has been a competent mayor? Unfortunately, we've had more than our fair share of grossly incompetent mayors. The good ones have been few and far between.
