  • A total violaion of democracy.

  • Here is a clear case if you don't like the rules that the people support....change them! They are completely out of touch. I think Bloomburg should pay $5 billion if he wants to stay. He too suffers from the "Trump" syndrome. Why else would he name is network after himself? NYC just got rolled!

  • Mr Mayor..PLEASE, PLEASE do something about the garbage in our city! I live on First ave near 116, and I cannot believe the overflowing city trash cans on every corner! I've watched the NYSD come by and just empty the can, but leave the overflow for someone else. This is uncalled for! Someone needs to be held responsible, I don't see any sanitation inspectors giving out summons to the store owners or landlords that share these streets and sidewalks. Pay me a salary, and I will clean up the mess

  • Bloomberg has done great things for this City and now he is exactly what New York needs during these tough times. Look at Bloomberg's Record, do your Research...he definitely deserves the right to run for a 3rd term

  • Yeah there is always that fear, then the joy is the people can vote them out of office is they no longer serve the will of the people. Though I'm appreciate having a rational discussion.

  • The Founders did bring up that point, but they decided that anybody staying in their position for too long may become too powerful, but you have your opinion and I have mine. It doesn't mean either of ours are wrong.

  • Yeah his New Deal wasn't that great, I'll give you that. The only point is I disagree with term limits. It should be the will of the people on how long they want their president. If they want, he should be able to run as many terms as possible.

  • I didn't like that FDR did that either. He also wasn't this great president that everyone perceives to be. He prolonged the Great Depression by seven years. He was a socialist.

  • I guess FDR is a bloody dictator right? Please some of you of people are delusional.

  • more self serving Rich Man politics from an egomaniac..i want him to spend a week in Rikers , a Public hospital, a housing project and then piss off to the Hamptons

  • Your kidding right? It was voted on by a up and down vote by City Council. His opposition is pissed because they know Bloomberg will mop whatever person runs against him.
