‘London Mayor Asks City Hall Staff To Stay, Picks Aides’
An article in the May 7, 2008 issue states that London, “the largest city in western Europe, has a $22 billion annual budget and 7.5 million residents” [Foreign, “London Mayor Asks City Hall Staff To Stay, Picks Aides,” May 7, 2008].
Why does New York City, with a population approximately 7% larger, have a budget of more than $50 billion, more than twice as large as that of London? Of course, this is a rhetorical question.
