RESULTS FOR MICHAEL BLOOMBERG:
Performance index for August 2008: 6.22 out of 10
Based on 137 evaluations received between 1 August and 31 August 2008

Best decisions during time in office:
• Juan E C (NYC): Bascially he creates his' own income A big plus for that one. Bloomberg is the best, better than the rest, thank God for having him as our Mayor; I read and saw his work to the City of New York, everyone eats from the pie don't matter what color or race. He treats everyone the same regardless the situation or condition I will always support him. Afterall I served twenty years behind bars for my childish behavior or mistakes I made in the past, However I need to continue doing and teach the young about the streets, this is something very important never look back keep moving forward one step at a time, five years on Parole with no violations, yes I am doing something good working very hard.

• K Ryan (NYC): Mayor Bloomberg has been a mediocre mayor at best but his best decision was to set up a phone number, 311, for residents to report non-emergency problems.

• El Lesko: Create massive, affordable municipal car parking facilities, which allow one to get to NYC, park ones car there and then proceed by public transport.
• Create legitimate shelters for homeless people so they don't have to wander aimlessly through the streets

• Busting the Board of Education,

Worst decisions during time in office:
• K Ryan (NYC): The mayor's worst decision was in trying to cement his legacy by pushing for the Olympics and the development of new stadiums despite polls that indicated that most New Yorkers were against the idea. Overall, his business management approach has been somewhat benign so, when compared to the tyrannical Giuliani regime that preceded his administration, Bloomberg looks good when his management and especially his leadership has actually been middling.

• Richard R: He is helping to force the middle class population, which has been a big part of New York City, out of this city, especially the outer boroughs for a long time. His friendship with develepors has led to the enormous number of construction sites, which in turn has more and more shoddy construction companies getting jobs when they shouldn't. This has lead to many accidents.

• El Lesko: Going crazy with parking tickets as means of raising money.
• Creating laws that harrass average citizens as opposed to criminals. For example: No bags on subway seats; Recycling laws and fines.

• Being totally Bottom Line minded. Forgetting that NYC has humans living in and not things occupying investment territory.

Mayor Monitor (MM)
City Mayors introduces Mayor Monitor (MM), which allows residents and non-residents to rate the performance of mayors and highlight their ‘best’ and ‘worst’ decisions. Mayor Monitor uses the widely understood one-to-ten rating system, where '1' signifies an extremely poor performance and '10' ‘an outstanding one. In addition to rating mayors’ performances, citizens are invited to highlight city leaders' best and worst decisions while in office.

Over time, Mayor Monitor will provide a valuable track record of mayors’ successes and failures as well as their popularity among residents and a wider public. The results will be published on the City Mayors website and updated monthly. Full list of mayors
