| The Power Broker / int_73ef9ef3 | comment |
Almighty Janitor: For fourteen years, Moses worked in government without drawing a salary.note Although he supposedly knew his way around an expense account He never got an elected position. Even at the height of his power, he was technically just an appointed parks commissioner (plus a few other titles). But his actual power was way out of proportion to how his titles sounded. | |

Anti-Hero: Whatever crafty ways Moses found to fund or implement his projects, particularly in his early career, he nevertheless delivered the parks, roads and bridges city politicians had promised for decades, making him extremely popular, especially since they often benefited the masses at the expense of the idle rich of the era. | |
