Bloomberg Gets Justice Dept. OK For Third Term Try

The AP reports that the Department of Justice has "approved Mayor Michael Bloomberg's change to city term-limits law, clearing the final hurdle for the billionaire to run again this year." The DOJ, which has final approval over voting rules in NYC, was asked by opponents to stop the term limits extension because it, critics say, impedes minority voters.

    I'm glad DOJ didn't block third terms for discrimination reasons.

    I don't want Bloomie nor anyone else overriding what we voted for twice. However, it's not a racial thing as opponents claimed. Anyone can run and anyone can win.

    Yeh, no surprise here.



    Those against Bloombucks have to hope the majority of NYers vote against him.

    DOJ didn't even go after Quinn and the other city council members for the slush funds.

    I wonder how much it cost Bloomberg to buy them out.
