    Every spring, Bloomberg gathers wealthy donors and tells them the causes he wants them to consider before supporting anyone running for office.

    This year, the mayor and his partners have expanded the effort. Bloomberg sent letters to 50,000 New Yorkers listing his legislative priorities. He also gave them a card to keep in their wallets as a reminder.

    This year’s issues include lifting the state cap on charter schools and urging Congress to pass immigration reform and close the so-called “gun show loophole” by requiring background checks on handgun purchases at gun shows.

    This guy really wants to control the world with his money.
    He thinks he’s Midas! How about, he should give more charity
    and not spend fortunes on gaining glory and power. His money
    could also go to worthy causes, I’ll tell HIM where to donate his money.
