NEW YORK (CBS 2 / WCBS 880) – According to a new poll, most New Yorkers want to restore the two-term limit for city officials.

Mayor Bloomberg overturned results of two voter referendums when he asked the City Council to re-write the term limits law in 2008.

That paved the way for his re-election.

The survey, however, found 73-percent of New Yorkers questioned said they want the measure brought back, and they’ll get their chance to do it in the Fall.

A commission whose members were appointed by the mayor voted to put the issue of term limits on the November second ballot.

    Michael Bloomberg is the man, I wanna be like you. I want to buy a city and rule, no maybe a planet. Shut everyone that goes against me… and do whatever I please…because we are surrounded by many corrupted politicians…. Though he is a jew, maybe he is bought out by Terriorists… Damn, the Al-qaeda finally find out the weakness of the jews.

    Damn, this remind me of the song “I wanna be a billionaire so Freaking Bad” Be a major like Michael Bloomberg !!!

      You are right, the terriorists (namely jack russells) own me.

    TOO BAD!

    Welcome to Nazi Bloomberg. Hitler unilaterally extended his term of office too – for a “crisis”. Bloomberg’s staff also has a uniform shirt color, just like Hitler’s. And both Bloomberg and Hitler loves to dictate to citizens how they should eat or live.

    This can’t be! No….NO!

    NYers want term limits, Bloomberg says NO. NYers want the mosque moved Bloomberg says NO. I wonder why.
