Bloomberg placed personal calls to Hickenlooper during gun control debates | Complete Colorado – Page Two

Just hours after Governor John Hickenlooper signed a series of sweeping new gun control laws in Colorado, KDVR Fox 31 reported:“…Hickenlooper brushed off the notion that the bills were pushed through, and that the White House or New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s group was controlling the agenda.”However, phone records obtained by CompleteColorado.com show that Mayor Bloomberg personally called Governor Hickenlooper at two critical moments of the gun-bill debate.

While the calls may not exhibit a direct “controlling” of the process by Mayor Bloomberg, at the very least they likely show Bloomberg taking a hands-on, executive-level approach to the events in Colorado.Bloomberg’s first phone call to Hickenlooper came on Saturday, March 2, two days before the gun-control bills were set to move to Senate Committee hearings.
