NYC Mayor Attempts To Revise Term Limits For A Third Term!

Posted by on September 30th, 2008 filed in Celebrity

This financial crisis is making politicians crazier than Michael Lohan in front of a reporter’s microphone!

After voicing strong support for office limits and labeling attempts to alter limits “disgusting,” New York Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg plans on doing just those things, The New York Times is reporting.

Former Wall Street Trader and independent party-aligned Bloomberg plans to announce on Thursday his intentions to revise New York City’s office term limits and run for a third term in office. He would be only the fourth ever mayor to do so.

And the reason for this about-face?

You guessed it!

MONEY!

Or the lack thereof.

Bloomberg, who at one point was a rumored Republican presidential candidate nom, has been encouraged by big-time business executives such as Rupert Murdoch to stay in office, as his pragmatic business sensibilities have proved him popular in that community. A recent survey of New York council members - two-thirds of whom will have to leave office with Bloomberg if he fails - found that the Mayor’s intentions to amend the term limit law are largely supported.

Inneresting.

What do U think of this new development????
