Summary	"This book explores Michael Bloomberg's mayoral successes and failures through the prism of the challenges he faced from several sources: the boundaries of municipal power imposed by the external constraints of state government, the limits imposed by federal and state courts, the internal obstacles faced in resolving labor union contracts. The book offers an incisive analysis of Bloomberg's policies during his long service as mayor of New York City and highlights the legacy Bloomberg left for de Blasio and other mayors" Provided by publisher.
