Time magazine names America's best and worst mayors
NEW YORK Time magazine has named what it calls the "five best big city mayors" in America. The winners are: New York's Michael Bloomberg, Atlanta's Shirley Franklin, Baltimore's Martin O'Malley, Chicago's Richard Daley and Denver's John Hickenlooper.
Gavin Newsom of San Francisco gets an honorable mention.
Time also designated three mayors as the nation's worst: Detroit's Kwame Kilpatrick, San Diego's Dick Murphy and Philadelphia's John Street.
Neither list was ranked, and the mayors were listed in alphabetical order.
The lists appear in the issue of the magazine that hits newsstands tomorrow.
Bloomberg and Murphy are Republicans. All the others are Democrats.
