The election results speak volumes about how New Yorkers feel about a third term for Bloomberg. We voted to impose term limits to keep Giuliani out and revitalize a stale city council. The arrogance required to think that it's ok to overturn a voter-imposed check on their elected officials because you think you're the only one good enough to run the city during an economic crisis is appalling. No one is that good. He may have done a fine job over the last eight years but he'll need to do more than put patio furniture on Broadway to regain the city's respect. The true test of his leadership will be whether, after eight years in office, he is capable of putting forth the innovative policy initiatives necessary to meaningfully improve the lives of ordinary New Yorkers.mnoreply@blogger.com
