There's probably an interesting story here about the challenges of trying to implement a transformative agenda while also navigating the growing pains of a new government structure and coalitional politics, but that's probably a level of in-depth analysis that eludes the NYT.

I would rather pay more taxes for high quality, universal public goods and a pleasant urban environment than keep my money while surrounded by crumbling infrastructure.
