Except he's not dictator and favor debt is just as real as money debt. The members of the NYC council have their own interests, corruptions, etc that he need to work with.
There's this idea that a mega-rich politician will be incorruptable. I'm not sure that's ever been true. The system is bigger than just one guy making decisions and even the head of an organization needs to keep a lot of people happy.
- JackFr 13y agoWell, the thing is trading favors with the city council is politics, not corruption. You might not like what he did to have the city council extend term limits so he could run a third time, but it was above board, and no different politicking to get the law passed to begin with. And I have no doubt that New York City's government has corruption, but comment I was responding to specifically referred to mayors. I get that the head of an organization needs to keep a lot of people happy and the executive may need to needle and cajole, but as I said, that isn't corruption that's politics.
