"I wish we had more Bloomberg Foundations across the country to participate."

"In a time when there are so many valuable initiatives that are limited by budget squeezes and even by sequestration, it is important to be as creative as possible."

"I believe that our objective should be to encourage innovation without wasting taxpayer money on programs that don't work that are not cost effective."
