From Saturday, February 15, 2003
Mayor Bloomberg may have made an anonymous $10M donation to support many of the same arts organizations that are suffering in the face of his budget cuts according to this New York Times story (registration required):
There are times when disgruntled New Yorkers, frustrated by crippling budget cuts, are known to implore the billionaire mayor to open his checkbook and help plug the city's budget gap.
Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg has done just that, again. This week, letters went out from the Carnegie Corporation to 162 small and medium-size cultural institutions around the city, informing them that they had been chosen to receive awards ranging from $25,000 to $100,000.
