Bloganuary – Prompt No. 29
What is something you learned recently?
I learned about the history of the mayors of New York City from John V. Lindsay up until the present day mayor, Eric Adams. The way each mayor ruled generally had a drastic impact on the quality of life in the city. But the decline of the quality of life in the city was spurred by Mayor Lindsay and his failure to curb the welfare rolls, which led to the city being bankrupt.
I gleaned this piece of history from the documentary whose premiere I was at last week.
It comes out March 21st, so check it out.
