West Virginia Says No to Bloomberg
Posted by Peter Suciu on February 16, 2010 · 1 Comment
The New York Daily News reported this week that finally someone in a sovereign state other than New York is standing up to New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg. The paper notes:
“A legislator there wants to ban the type of undercover stings that Bloomberg has used to showcase illegal gun sales in other states – and throw the mayor’s investigators in jail if necessary.
“‘It’s for us to handle within our own borders,’ said state Sen. Jeffrey Kessler, who is running for governor in 2012. ‘We jealously guard our gun rights, and we’re vocal advocates for the Second Amendment.’”
Kudos to Jeffrey Kessler. It is about time someone stood up to Mikey.

This is a very positive move because it sets limits to what a locally elected Mayor can do outside of his city. More states should follow the lead of West Virginia.
