He's running!
The NY Times reports that Michael Bloomberg will announce Thursday his intention to run for a third term next year.
My view: I voted against term limits -- twice -- and still oppose them, but am more firmly opposed to overturning, by legislative fiat, the twice-expressed will of the people.
It's never too early to let your City Council member know how you feel.

John Liu speaks out
From the office of John Liu:
"Council Member John Liu has long defended the will of the people as expressed through past public referenda. New Yorkers have voted twice before to limit office-holders to eight years. Regrettably, Mayor Michael Bloomberg now appears to favor changing the term limits without putting the question before the voters again. Although John does not support the concept of term limits, he certainly cannot and will not support the Mayor pushing this through. Times are tough but so are New Yorkers. And New York is a lot bigger than one man."
One is on board; we only need 25 more.
My Councilman
Is Dominic Recchia and you know he'll be in favor of an extension of term limits.
