Councilman Peter Vallone Jr, of whom I was formerly a fan because of his stance on NYC sovereignty*, said on WNYC this morning that holding a special election about the term limit extension would be chaos and duh, expensive, so our only choice is for the Council to decide it.
Um, no, Pete. Believe it or not, there's a third option. The original option. Get your resume together or start your mayoral exploratory committee, because two terms is all you get.
*The idea that NYC should become its own state. This sounds stupid but would in fact benefit us because a shameful amount of the money we send to Albany never comes back to us. Also, the state senate is currently a Republican majority. In other words, upstaters essentially echo Palin: damn elite city dwellers, fuck you!
