Mayors very much have sway here, at least in larger cities, when it comes
to setting the fiscal policy -- like proposing new city taxes.  In most
cities, they have to work with the local council or board of alderman
which, if they are mostly all from the same party often means little
resistance.  Together, they can really make a city business friendly, or very
much not, depending on which path they choose.

Threatening to raise taxes on "the rich" and "businesses" would be an
indication to either category that it might be time to relocate.  That is
what Mandami campaigned on.

I looked it up in the meantime.  The part of the NYSE that is moving to
Dallas is currently located in Chicago.  Sounds like it is some sort of
tech center.

Mike
