(NYT) — Facing intense anger two years ago as he lobbied to run for a third term, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg made a promise. Rewrite the term-limits law now, he told critics, and voters would get a chance to weigh in on the issue later.
The public, however, may not have the definitive voice that the mayor once pledged.
A fiery debate has erupted in the aftermath of the decision last week by the Charter Revision Commission, a 15-member group appointed by Mr. Bloomberg, to protect incumbents from a change to the term-limits law.
