Essentially, she blames others and the standard -isms for personal failures. Murder is up 40% in 2 years, theft has doubled, and a city that previously was famously clean and orderly is ABSOLUTELY not now.
Chicago was long considered the "cleaner, cheaper, smaller" NYC with good transit and worse weather. Now it's worse on all counts, hemorrhaging population, and with a massive exodus of jobs to Florida.
If that's not a bad job of mayor, nothing is.
