The Top 65 Cities Larger Than Newark Whose Mayors Haven’t Weighed-in On Private Equity

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has certainly weighed-in on the Obama administration’s approach to the financial sector in the past, and recently Newark Mayor Cory Booker’s remarks on private equity have dominated the news. It turns out, however, that any number of other American municipalities are larger than Newark. Some of them even have black mayors! Perhaps someone will phone them all up to see what they think about Obama, Romney, and private equity.
