Mike Bloomberg ads
You can either believe what he and his political supporters say about City schools, or speak with teachers, who, in my experience, hate the man.
And second and far from least, the reason why he absolutely must not be elected. A vote for Bloomberg is a vote against democracy. I will state and restate this. The New York City electorate voted twice to maintain term limits and Bloomberg overturned these democratic decisions claiming there was a financial need for him to be given another 4 years. After he claimed that the economy here was picking up, a journalist asked him if the conditions for him overturning the will of the people still existed. He not only didn’t respond to the question, he was rude to the questioner. Because the truth is, economic problems or not, he is so conceited, he would have put forward legislation to overturn the public votes and run for a 3rd term.
Please, if you believe in democracy, do not vote for Mike Bloomberg, no matter how you rate his performance as Mayor.
