Summary:  "How one of America's most successful entrepreneurs was elected mayor of New York City and what he did with the power he won. Michael Bloomberg's victory against all odds just weeks after the 9/11 terrorist attack left him facing challenges unlike any mayor in history. For the next twelve years, he kept the city safe, managed budgets through fiscal crises, promoted private sector growth, generated jobs, built infrastructure, protected the environment, supported society's cultural sensibilities, and achieved improvements in public health. His time as mayor was not without controversy. Bloomberg supported stop and frisk police tactics that a judge ruled unconstitutional, and jailhouse violence rose to levels so severe the federal government intervened. The administration's homeless policies were ineffective. And he forced a change in the city charter to allow him to serve a third term. Record low crime and the lasting impact of innovative policies will cause his tenure to be remembered as a remarkable success. Having returned to his global media empire, Bloomberg continues to challenge the National Rifle Association on gun control, promote national education reform, and support policies to combat climate change. He leaves behind a legacy of effective government. Author Chris McNickle is a lifelong New Yorker. He has been a senior executive in global investment firms and is treasurer of the American Historical Association"--Provided by publisher. Genre:  Biographies.
