At the risk of driving the entire NYC Blog world, whether Left Centric (Mole, Bouldin, Anderson, Jacoby) Center Centric (Maverick Wing: Littlefield; Hack Wing: Yoda) or Afrocentric & Egocentric (Hackshaw) out of their minds (although in some cases, they don‘t have far to go), I am going to declare that the City Council's recent vote to modify the City term limits law is unlikely to affect my vote in next year’s elections, although it may (arguably) somewhat curtail my opportunity to actually use it.
The blogocracy has made good sport of the Olympic level backflips and summersaults of politicians and editorial boards who said they supported terms limits, or, as was usually the case, said a term limit law twice supported by the voters in two referenda should not be overturned without another visit to the public. And even those who support an overturn by any means necessary had to be nonplused by the pretense that this was really a one-time-only measure enacted because if we let the bus stop the bombs might explode.
