(AP) – New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg declared his opposition to term limits when he had the law changed in 2008, but now he’s hesitant to get back into the debate.
A panel reviewing the city charter decided Wednesday to put a term limits question on the ballot this November.
The law now lets elected officials seek three consecutive terms. Mr. Bloomberg pushed the City Council to extend it from two terms in 2008 so that he could run for another four years.
The ballot question will ask voters whether the charter should be amended to a two-term limit. If voters reject it, the three-term law will stand.
