Mayor Bloomberg is wasting no time in lobbying newly elected Congressman Bob Turner. According to the Queens Gazette:
“… The mayor said it was the first time he was meeting Turner, who was sworn in last Thursday, and both discovered they have a lot in common, including a lot of friends in common. After the one-hour meeting, which Turner initiated, the mayor said they also chatted about their campaigns and other experiences. Turner and the mayor also discussed city issues, such as immigration, guns, Medicaid and the economy …”
This bears watching to see what Turner does.
So he dangled the carrot of $$ donations so long as Turner is complicit with Bloomies anti gun agenda… I hope Turner does the right thing.
I don’t think Bloomberg was involved with either side in the special election so it’s not as if Turner owes him anything right now.
