Bloomberg’s Outrageous Power Grab

Bloomberg, term limits,

In recent days there have been several articles about Michael Bloomberg’s attempt to lift New York City’s Term Limits Law.

Millions of New Yorkers voted for the Term Limits law, and now Bloomberg who calls himself a term limit supporter who would defend the law has indicated he would support the City Council subverting the law without giving the people a chance to vote.

Bloomberg is not looking for a popular vote because poll after poll shows overwhelming support for maintaining the current Law among voters.

New Yorkers For Term Limits has extensive information about the developing situation.

    But yeah, when the incumbent tries to remove them, that’s purely a power grab and I’m all in favor of maintaining term limits for the current incumbent.

    If Bloomberg removes them, it should only take effect for the next guy.

    California’s assembly speaker tried something similar this year, and was defeated soundly.
