thinkprogress.org — The city’s term limits law was passed twice by voters, in 1993 and 1996, and several polls show widespread popular support for keeping it in place. Under the plan Mr. Bloomberg has outlined to associates, those voters will have no say in the matter, raising the possibility of a backlash.

He was bitchin' about Guiliani wanting to extend his term after 9/11 and now he's all for it. Not that I liked Guiliani but this is BS. Bloomberg wants to make Manhattan into an upper class only town. Tolls, tickets, congestion pricing, smokers tax under the guise of "smoking is bad for you ". But you buy smokes online.... NYC will chase you down to collect those taxes (some folks had their wages garnished for buying smokes online).<a class="user" href="http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/080930/ny_bloomberg_third_term.html">http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/080930/ny_bloomberg_third_ ...</a>

Politicians who think they are indispensable are what's wrong with this country. I don't trust people with ego's like Bloomberg's.

If he tries to overturn the term limits without putting it to a vote of the NYC residents then he needs to be remove by any and all means available up to and including violence if it proves necessary.
