ask a q to | about Michael

will the 'stop and frisk' practices of the NYPD be the downfall of bloomberg's legacy?

via the heraldrecord: New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has a new kind of crime statistic. It is not the astoundingly low number of murders committed in his fair city, 471 in 2009 vs. about 2,000 per year in the 1980s. But it is the number of times last year the police stopped someone on the street and frisked him (or the occasional her) for weapons: 685,724.
In 2002, the figure was 97,296.

what's interesting about Michael?

It seems only fitting that the Mayor of New York City, with their billion dollar sports teams and focus on monetary gain, be one of the top ten richest people in the United States. Michael Bloomberg is the billionaire that New York needs to hold up its large ego and inflated sense of self worth. Although history books have taught us that large masses of money tend to lead to pure evil, Bloomberg seems to be keeping his endeavors straight up the middle. Bloomberg has given millions of dollars to schools and charities throughout his political career and also holds a fairly stoic guard on human rights. He is a firm advocate of the right to choice and is against the death penalty. When foreign relations or economic policies come into play; Bloomberg sides with the conservatives. Social rights may be well and good but those with money tend to want to keep it. After extending term limits and subsequently occupying his third term as mayor of New York, Bloomberg officially moved to the center of the road as an independent. With Bloomberg’s substantial wealth and power, is hard to believe that Bloomberg could be moderate about anything.
