Ditto. No matter how much good Bloomberg did for NYC the whole issue about his third term is a deal breaker. He said twice during his tenure that term limits are what they are and they cannot be changed against the will of the voters.

Yes because this is Maybury. WAKE UP this is the center of the universe for US cities he won't do fine.
[ Reply | Options ]so only one person can run the city? guiliani thought so too, but that can't possibly be the case.

i've been here since 1968 (and came here). was here through beame, koch, dinkins and guiliani - who was a racist divisive pig who probably did his best work in the prosecutor's office, not as mayor. all those cops he bragged about were put on the streets by the dinkins administration, and he was fiscally irresponsible enough to leave mayor mugabe with a huge deficit

Bloomberg - Term limits are silly. If you don't want someone in office, don't vote for him. There's your term limit.
[ Reply | Options ]i would be fine with that (i voted against them in the first place) but they are ALREADY the law of the land. if he wants to get rid of them, he should have done it properly. he knows, however, that there are fewer people out there who are so outraged that they will make it the single issue. shame on that man.
[ Reply | Options ]seriously. the only place they should have term limits is for state/federal legislature where you are subjected to someone else's horrible choice.

Two votes for Bloomie in our house. Because we think he is the better candidate.

Bloomberg. I am an African-American, progressive Democrat. I have voted in more than 20 elections, and I have only voted for 2 Republicans in my life. One of them is Bloomberg. I did not vote for him the first time around. But then he won, and then he won me over. I think he's done a great job for our City and I think he's best positioned to get us through the next 4 years. I don't like the un-democratic way he changed the term-limit law, but I didn't like term limits to begin with. If you like what you've got, why force him out of office?
[ Reply | Options ]np. i'm aa, and voted against term limits in the first place; however, like everyone else(except bloomberg), i had to go with the wishes of the majority. i can only assume that most people are adopting (like him) an "ends justifies the means" philosophy on this one, but i don't think it should be this way.

I think Bloomberg would have left Gracey Mansion at the end of this term but then the economy hit the shitter and he said to himself, "There is no way I'm leaving this city, in this state, to those idiots." It was too late to change term limits at that point in any way but through the City Council so that is what he did. Might not be ideal but as was said by somebody else above, I don't like term limits anyway, so I'm ok with it.

i just voted for thompson. i voted for bloomie last time and would have again even after the term limits thing but the mess he's made of the schools was the deciding factor for me . i think the last straw was either his recent quote about how parents shouldn't even have the right to voice an opinion about the schools or his claim that d2 schools really aren't overcrowded so there's no rush to build new ones. oh, and test scores turned out to be no higher despite all his claims to the contrary. enough already. with the lying, the arrogance, the condescension. thompson may turn out to be completely in over his head but at least i didn't vote for four more years of this crap.
