understand that writing a section on the ins and outs of city finances may not be your goal, but I think it's a necessary precursor to these charts. Otherwise there is no context in which to interpret the relevance of these graphs, of which I assume there are hundreds if not thousands from which to choose. We have a section on heraldry (very much outside the scope of the government's form or organization, or even function), so a section on finances would be welcome indeed.
278: 74: 53: 84: 188: 158: 198: 637: 494:. I'd be glad to hear from anyone who'd like to collaborate in combining these small (sub-)articles into a start upon which a deeper, richer, more informative treatment can be built. We're slowly building up the statistics, but what those names and numbers mean (e.g. the history of Fusion or the Reform movement) is still pretty sketchy to those not already steeped in the subject. 22: 310: 1178:
Thanks JesseRafe, but the charts are my own creation based on the numbers from their speadsheet. I've asked NYC Independent Office to publish charts instead of requesting users to download a speadsheet (not many people do that :) I believe the information is public and the charts are my creation
827:
This page currently says "The current Public Advocate is Betsy Gotbaum, a Democrat. She was elected in 2001 and re-elected in 2005." Wasn't Bill deBlasio elected to the position in 2009? I know the public advocate website still says its Gotbaum...but, am I crazy here? I remember that happening.
1162:
I don't think it's necessary here, as this approaches news coverage and this article is about the form/function of the government of NYC, not what happens under any given administration. Also, those charts are probably property of the IBO, are you sure you have the permission/right to either post
893:
As far as I understand it, the meaning of the term "executive branch" means that every member serves at the pleasure and discretion of the chief executive. The Comptroller and Public Advocate are citywide, like the mayor, but not appointed to him nor do they answer to him. In fact, they basically
717:
There should be mention about the number of agencies and departments the city has (Police, Fire, Correction, HR, Parks, Homeless Services, etc). NYC's government apparatus is massive. An infobox linking to the wiki pages of each of the agencies/departments would organize this page much better.
1198:
I don't think there is any relevant section of this article that concerns the finances of the city government. I think if there were, these graphs may (or may not, as the case may be) provide illustration, but as it stands, I don't think they would help illustrate anything currently here. I
544:
The page is self-contradictory. In the opening section it says there are separate DA's and separate criminal court systems in the five counties. But in the Judicial Branch section it says there is a single unified criminal court system for the whole of NYC. So which is it?
464:
Even if it's just "see also" material that lets people follow it up, that would be useful. And, admittedly, I haven't lived there in over 25 years, but I can hardly imagine that (in Brooklyn and Queens, especially) machine politics is a purely historical matter. -

Was there a charter revision to replace public advocate as next in the line of succession below the mayor? I remember back during Rudy's first rumored Senate run, there was talk that Mark Green would become mayor if Rudy resigned or got elected to Congress.
621:
I thought they were absolutely coterminous. I searched for a few hours for a reference to any sort of overlap between the boroughs/counties as well as Nassau and Westchester and couldn't. Unless anyone disagress and has a source, I'm going to remove the
754:
The article is currently lacking any information on who may run for mayor--are there age limits, residency requirements, etc? The NYC Charter appears to be silent on this. If the answer is there aren't any, that should be stated in the article.

I have spent several hours this evening overhauling this article. It needs more work, but it has finally been arranged more coherently. Please refine with detail as you see fit. The daughter articles linking from here need more work in particular.

This isn't to start a political controversy 11 months before the next municipal elections, but just trying to figure out what the fairest description of Mayor Bloomberg's public-health policy (or sliver of public-health policy) might be.

serve as their own single-body checks to the mayor's policies and the executive agencies. I can't think of an elegant way to break up the structure of the article's sections, but I will suss those out from the bit about the mayor.
797:
this begs the question of how broadly "public health" is construed (in the early 20th century, it meant drastic improvements in housing, sanitation, etc. which were rather different from simple Prohibition), especially if you look
325: 421:, you make a good point. A "Politics of NYC" subsection should be included here (not in a seperate article). Info on the machines would be interesting. Someone with authority on the city's politics should write it up. 518:
At some point the the city (or at least Manhattan and Brooklyn) were divided into Wards (3rd Ward, etc). Does anyone have any info about when these were abolished? Sylvain1972 20:13, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

It's possible that "aggressive" might be an attempt at Neutral POV language for "intrusive" or "authoritarian" (sometimes necessary as in Dr Walter Reed's fight against yellow fever and malaria), but
