Michael R. Bloomberg City Quotations

No city is better prepared than New York,

I am encouraged that theater owners, producers and the musicians' union have taken the city up on its offer, and I am determined that they reach an agreement so Broadway can come back to life,

If we stay the course, ... the best days of your city and this school system are yet to come.

CBGB, it's a great New York City institution -- it's more than just another club, ... We are trying to bring both sides together. ... It's part of our culture. They bring a lot of business here. I don't think they belong any place else other than New York City.

Today, again, we are a city that meets in sadness,

He offered extraordinary contributions to our city and we will always be grateful,

I am going to work as hard in the next four years as I've worked in the last four years, trying to make this the city for opportunity, ... I think it's a city we can open up to everybody.

People are getting along better than they have in an awful long time, I think, ... It's the most wonderful city in the world. We're all lucky to live here.

It is in them that the spirit of our city lives on,

We are deploying a full array of counterterrorism resources. We will spare no expense, and we will take no chances, ... We will be watching and protecting the city through never-ending vigilance.

We have a responsibility to make this city as safe as we can. That includes informing the people who manage and run the buildings in this city.

What's more, an awful lot of people come into this city to work,

We will be watching and protecting the city through never-ending vigilance.

Again, we are a city that meets in sadness, ... We are all linked to one another in our common humanity.

Although we are proud to be the host city of the United Nations, one thing we simply cannot afford is to be taken advantage of by our guests, especially considering our fiscal condition,

This city has suffered greatly: 9/11, an economic slowdown,

If there is a strike, the city and the MTA will certainly take all legal actions possible to try to force the workers back, ... to have the appropriate penalties for breaking the law and endangering the public, and the city will sue to get back whatever expenses it loses.

I'm going to go and fight for this city Freddy, and I can't have everybody in Washington vote for everything I'd like.

The best for this city is yet to come.

New York is one of the few premier international cities without a direct mass transit link between its airports and the city center, ... This can be done, and it must be done.

New York is the safest big city in the nation, better prepared than at any time in its history to prevent and respond to any danger, no matter what its source.

I pointed out to them the severe economic impact on a city still recovering from the terrible tragedy of the September 11th attack, the financial hardships being experienced by those employed in this and related industries, and the disappointment of theater-goers from around the world that the strike was causing,

The city council meeting was going along normally when all of a sudden there were screams and shots,

It wasn't easy. Certainly serious economic harm was inflicted. But we did what we had to do to keep the city running and running safely.

The public is very smart and they look at the individual candidates more and more, I think, in this country and certainly in this city than they do party labels,

This was a planned attack that had a specific time and target and method, ... It was the first really serious allegation of a direct attack on this city since 9/11.
