After the super low turnout at last week's primary runoff elections, State Senator Joseph P. Addabbo (D-Queens) has introduced legislation to get rid of runoffs. City Room reports that Addabbo, who will look at various avenues to eliminate them, said, "Spending $15 million to hold an election the voters do not wish to participate in is a waste of taxpayer dollars in a time of economic difficulty. That money could have instead been spent more wisely, like on our seniors or school children."
