Brooklyn residents had mixed feelings upon hearing the indictment news. "To tell you the honest truth I think he's been doing a proper job," said Flatbush resident Pauline Sawney, adding that criticism of the mayor often seems race related. "I personally believe the indictment isn't going anywhere far- let's face it, everybody is corrupted in this country. And if he's doing a good job why try to indict him?"
Connie Coleman from Kensington said she was surprised with the indictment. "I thought he was doing a decent job, that he was on the up-and-up," Coleman, 77, said. But the retired teacher said she is giving him a chance. "We'll find out if what he did was legal or illegal," she said. "But it's really too bad."
Emily Kane of Prospect Park South said the constant headlines of top officials and possible federal indictments were confusing. "It's hard to keep track of who's being accused of what," the 35-year-old musician said. That said, now that the mayor himself has been indicted, she will take more time to learn about what's happening. "All I can say is that it’s bewildering and unsettling to see these developments unfold in our city."
