2008-2011 Mayoral State of the City addresses: on Principles & Values


Chris Coleman: Vision of Cooperation, Responsibility and Respect

In my over ten years as Mayor, I have had many opportunities to think about three words that anchored my first inaugural address: Cooperation, Responsibility and Respect. I have seen how cooperation across many sectors of our community has made fundamental changes in the work we have done. I could not have envisioned the work of the Central Corridor Funders Collaborative in the form that it took. But I knew that the Green Line had to be built in a way that brought people together. Nearly two years after opening the line, that work has paid off. Businesses in the Little Mekong District near Western are thriving, Project for Pride in Living has completed a critical affordable housing project at the Hamline stop, and artists continue their work at Raymond.

Cory Booker: I believe in Newark as the city of opportunity

342 years ago, Puritans came ashore onto the banks of the Passaic River, searching for freedom and the promised land, they looked at the wild woods and uncultivated lands here and said, "I believe in the infinite strength of God's children, I believe in Newark." When waves of immigrants poured into our City from across the globe, yearning to be free, with worn hands that would build this City, they said in countless foreign languages, "I believe this is the city of opportunity, I believe in Newark."
