Since Michael Bloomberg became mayor of New York City in 2002, crime—already falling— has gone down by another 35%. Welfare rolls have fallen by 24%. He has helped to build 130,000 affordable housing units, with more on the way. His 311 call system, a municipal customer-service line, has received 120m calls since 2003. There have been missteps, like his appointment of Cathie Black to head the school system; she lasted a rocky four months on the job. And he never managed to implement congestion charging. Still, most New Yorkers were pleased to see him elected to a third term. Unusually, other cities are finding him useful too.
His education reforms, which included the opening of 111 charter schools, have become a model for other districts. He co-chairs Mayors Against Illegal Guns, and last year he was appointed chairman of the C40, a group of world cities that are committed to slowing climate change.
His charity organisation, Bloomberg Philanthropies, is also making an impact on cities. On July 14th it announced a $24m initiative to fund "Innovation Delivery Teams" to help mayor’s solve particular local problems. The idea grew out of a mayors’ summit hosted by Bloomberg Philanthropies in March, which highlighted the need for municipal innovation when budgets are tight. Mayors all over the country are struggling with a lack of risk capital and overstretched personnel. Five cities, Chicago, Atlanta, New Orleans, Memphis and Louisville—all with strong and fairly new mayors—will each receive $1.4m- $2m a year over the next three years, to spend on staffing the innovation teams.
Atlanta wants to introduce the 311 system and to tackle homelessness. Memphis wants to reduce handgun violence and to encourage small businesses in certain districts. New Orleans hopes to reduce its horrific homicide rate, and to reduce waiting time for city services. Rahm Emanuel in Chicago is also keen to reduce time wasted. The sooner permits get processed, the quicker, say, a small business can open up and start making money. The Bloomberg funding will also help Mr. Emanuel get an energy-efficiency programme going.
Greg Fischer in Louisville, Kentucky, who came to office six months ago, wants to pep up the performance of city agencies. His other priority is a partnership with Lexington, long a rival, to devise a new strategy for regional exports. The two cities want to become more globally competitive in advanced car manufacturing. The Brookings Institution is helping them with an economic plan; the Bloomberg money will help the plan get off the ground.
Bruce Katz of Brookings says cities can no longer afford to compete with each other, but must work together in order to thrive economically. The mayor of New York is giving that philosophy a good push forward.
Bloomberg has been elected for the third time as the mayor of New York because
选项
A、New Yorkers admire his courage in dealing with urban crimes.
B、he has contributed a lot to the development of New York City.
C、he has reduced effectively government’s spending on welfare.
D、citizens get an access to municipal construction through 311 call system.
答案
B
解析
推理判断题。根据题干关键词Bloomberg和elected定位到第一段。该段罗列了Bloomberg的各项政绩,如在他的领导下,纽约市的犯罪率继续下降、更多的经济适用型住房得以建造、开通了311客服电话等,由此可知,Bloomberg对纽约市的发展做出了很多贡献。[B]与原文意思相符,故为答案。其他各项均只涉及他政绩的某一个细节,不够全面,故均排除。
