Opinion: Bloomberg, Champion of the Poor
Wednesday, 06 November 2013 | by Pat's Picks
An Op-Ed in the New York Times makes the case that billionaire New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg actually did quite a bit to combat poverty during his 12 years in office, despite his reputation for catering to the wealthy. Michael Katz says Bloomberg took on the issue when no other mayor of a major American city was making poverty a priority. Not everything he tried worked, but some of his programs have had an influence on a national level.
