Bloomberg Petitions to Create New Party

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is petitioning to create another party. The billionaire mayor is a Democrat-turned-Republican-turned-independent. He has already secured two ballot lines for this year’s election — the Republican line and the Independence Party line. But his campaign is collecting signatures for something called the Jobs and Education Party.

It’s essentially a marketing trick.

Bloomberg is already running on two lines, so the words “Jobs and Education” would just be added to one of the existing lines.

The ballot would say “Republican/Jobs and Education” or “Independence/Jobs and Education.”

Jobs and schools are top concerns for city voters.

Campaign spokesman Howard Wolfson says it’s another way to communicate with voters.

A fake phony and a fraud as far as parties go. Also raises his employees salary and lowers ours through raising taxes on almost everything. Think it over people
