Please Vote for Bill Thompson on Tuesday!
i like the new design and so dont like mayor mike
Inexplicably, the polls show the plantation dwellers will elect Bloomberg by as much as 60%.
I realize New York City is a banana republic and largely ungovernable but Bloomberg has thumbed his nose at the law.
Term limits (where one agrees with them or not is another discussion) were approved by the voters not once but twice. Yet, billionaire swell, Mayor Bloomberg refuses to follow the law and leave.
I understand Manhattan is filled with many wealthy residents able to pay $1 million dollars for a one bedroom apartment and who see Bloomberg as kin folk, but he's a lawbreaker.
