to handle his accounting financial software. My daughter (CPA) works for the Canadian company at home and has visited Bloomberg's DC office a few times. The Canadian's were nervous last trip because of Trump, my daughter made sure to tell them she didn't vote for him. Company is on the Toronto side of Canada.

I was a public school teacher during his tenure as mayor, and he was not. Negotiated no contracts and left teachers without a raise for a long, long time. Inaugurated an evaluation system that was dysfunction, demotivational, and damaging to instructors and students.

He wasn't bad, but he certainly wasn't the best I've scene. I liked De Blasio.
