October 25, 2008 (LPAC)--Opposition to the prospect of another Bloomberg term is growing, after the City Council narrowly voted Thursday to allow Mayor Benito a third term (by 29-22 votes). A group of teachers filed a lawsuit saying that that a referendum is necessary, and two City Council members filed a State court challenge which charges that there is a conflict of interest by council members who stand to benefit from Bloomberg's third term. In addition the Department of Justice has to approve such a major change in the election law under the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

Brad Sherman says that Congress was bullied into paying off Wall Street and NY Bankers. Martial Law was used as the bully stick as threat if they did not give free money to banks who squandered it.
