Bloomberg Not Sure He Supports Any Term Limits Anymore

After sitting through four hours of testimony at City Hall this morning, Michael Bloomberg signed into law the term-limits extension that will allow him and other city lawmakers to run for a third consecutive four-year term in office.

He also signaled an uncertainness about supporting term limits in general.

"The one argument against term limits that I've never had a great answer to is the argument that when you have term limits, you do limit the public's choice. I feel that this time, the public should have a choice. And while I am still in favor of term limits, it is seriously something that everyone should think long and hard about: is there a better ways to do this? But I'm going to sign the bill and the public is going to have a choice."

Sitting behind a big wooden desk before signing the bill, Bloomberg said, "I've thought long and hard about this. And you know that I have, over a period of time, fundamentally changed my opinion in terms of how long somebody should be in office."
