Bloomberg plans to use wealth to fight City Council stop-and-frisk foes

When New York City Mayor Bloomberg’s political action committee, Independence USA, spent $12 million last year to campaign against City Council members who opposed gun control and gay marriage, I thought it was pretty neat.

Now it comes back to bite me in the ass.

According to the NY Post, Bloomberg is planning to use some of his fortune to fight against the re-election of councilmembers who vote to override his veto of a bill that curtails stop-and-frisk.

Suddenly, his throwing his weight around doesn’t seem fair.
