“Bloomberg inherited a safe and prosperous NYC from Giuliani.”
And he kept many of Giuliani’s policing policies in place.
Bloomberg was a bored billionaire who found nothing interesting anymore in the business that made him rich. And he lacked the creativity to go out and create another totally new business. So he went into politics.
Bloomberg’s mayoral initiatives were to end term limits so he can seek a third term as mayor, ban smoking in bars and try to ban large sodas. He is a waste of space.
