Does Bloomberg Want To Three-Peat NYC?

There are already so many candidates running for Mayor next year, what would the hat of one more matter to anyone? Well, if that hat belongs to twice-elected Mayor Bloomberg, it would mean a great deal to the city of New York. Supposedly someone close to his Administration hinted that the Mayor is trying to get rid of term limits in the city so that he can run a third time.

From UPI:

The unidentified source said Bloomberg would like to stay in public office beyond the end of his second term on Dec. 31, 2009, the New York Post reported Sunday.

The source said Bloomberg is considering asking for support for a third-term referendum. The source said the mayor "won't make up his mind," however, until he completes the city budget in June.

The source told the Post Bloomberg was considering asking the Charter Revision Commission to place a term-limits referendum up for a vote this November.

Hmm, sounds like someone wants to hold onto their power. Now why would Mr. Bloomberg want to stay, changing the city's term limits in the process? Maybe he's so obsessed about congestion pricing that he wants another four years to see it through? Or, could there possibly be more land within the five boroughs that he wants to rezone for wealthy developers? You never know, he may also want to revive the idea of a West Side Stadium. Nah, not the stadium, but those first two options might have to do something with an attempt at a third run at being on top at City Hall.
