| NYC lawmakers mull bill to raise term limits |
By Edith Honan NEW YORK (Reuters) - Mayor Michael Bloomberg introduced a bill on Tuesday that would change the city's term-limits law and allow him to seek four more years in office to help New York cope with the sweeping economic crisis. Bloomberg, a former Wall Street trader and self-made billionaire, is seeking a permanent change in the law to raise the limits to three four-year terms from two for mayor, the 51-member City Council and other elected officials. Bloomberg says his Wall Street experience would be invaluable when the city is bracing for lean times. Tens of thousands of high-paying financial jobs are being lost and the impact is likely to spread through many layers of the city economy. |
