Beame Reflects on Worst Year of NYC Crisis
In an interview, New York City Mayor Abraham Beame recalls his first six months meeting the challenge of a near default. He describes layoffs of 35,000 workers, closing services and facilities, seeking loans from Governor Carey and President Ford, and the emotional toll of guiding a city through fiscal ruin. He notes unions bending, federal aid needed, and the public still visiting City Hall to voice concerns.
