Booker has succeeded where every past Newark mayor failed. Booker is one of Newark’s greatest resources with his Oprah connection and after receiving the charitable whims of a 26-year-old billionaire, Booker remains on top.
But can Corey Booker succeed in cleaning up Newark?
Combating crime was his first priority, and the city has made significant progress however the recent layoffs of police officers is unavoidable in order to deal with unanticipated short-term problems.
“Newark is among the nation’s most improved cities crime-wise,” said George Kelling, head of the Greater Newark Safer Cities initiative and co-founder of the Police Institute at Rutgers. “My guess is that the zones of safety have increased enormously.”
If Newark is to thrive economically or otherwise, it must convince investors that the city is not only open for business but it is, indeed safe.
Meanwhile, Newark’s best pitchman (Mayor Booker) spends much of his time on the road, seeking another large-sized donation while tweeting to a million Newarkers and non-Newarkers (such as myself) 🙂 that he is winner who is constantly on the move for the betterment of his city and its residents!!!
