Bloomberg Gives $1.5 Million to Pro-Cuomo Super PAC

Michael R. Bloomberg, New York City’s billionaire former mayor, put $1.5 million into a super PAC supporting Andrew M. Cuomo’s bid for mayor on Wednesday, and urged New Yorkers to vote for the former governor.

Filings show the money went to Fix the City, a group run by a longtime Cuomo ally that has been responsible for anti-Mamdani advertising and a get-out-the-vote operation during the campaign.

This is Mr. Bloomberg’s first foray into the mayor’s race since the Democratic primary, when he spent more than $8 million backing Mr. Cuomo’s failed bid to become the party’s nominee.

While threats from the city’s business elite to spend as much as $100 million in an effort to knock out Mr. Mamdani failed to materialize, super PAC spending against him has ticked up in the final days before Tuesday’s election.

I do think Bloomberg has done some good things for Democrats but this action is not one of them.

He may have made some ok donations before, this one isn't that case. He revamped the height limits, which lead to the proliferation of ugly supertall buildings and our now we have a hideous skyline.
