Booker seems like a decent Mayor for the most part, from what his Wikipedia entry says about him. "The approved $697.1 million budget resulted in an 8.3% increase in the city's property tax, which is one of the largest property tax increases in the city's history." They led the nation in crime reduction from 2006-2008. Their crime rate dropped such that they had a month (March 2010) without a single murder, its first in 44 years.
So he's against negative campaign ads? Good. I hope the Republican campaigns notice too, if we're going to consider a Newark Mayor as a "leading member" of the Democratic party and someone worth listening to.
