Michael Bloomberg said today that he wants to start a new policy of taking campaign-related questions at his campaign events, in part so he does not have to field those inquiries when he’s at events acting in his capacity as mayor.
Until now, he has generally been resistant the idea of dealing with what he deems to be political questions at public events, and when reporters have asked them anyway, the mayor has alternately ducked or scolded.
“I’ll make the commitment to you,” Bloomberg said, standing in his midtown campaign office this morning. “I’ll take campaign questions at campaign events, and not at general events, because I don’t think it’s appropriate.
