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.

Mike Bloomberg takes time to lay his definition of Democracy out. It seems that the will of the people only count when the vote is for Mike. When New Yorkers voted term limits, Mike took them away with his new Democracy. You can vote for Mike on a third term, but your vote for no third term, well - that is just not Democracy. Democracy demands Mike runs. Stop, look, listen, learn!
