  • Update: Bloomberg wins fight to extend term limits

    NEW YORK (AP) — The New York City Council has approved Mayor

    Michael Bloomberg’s proposal to change term-limits law, clearing

    the way for the billionaire independent to run for a third term.

    By a vote of 29-22, the council passed the bill that gives

    officeholders the option of three consecutive four-year terms.

    Existing law limits them to two terms, and Bloomberg’s concludes at

    the end of next year.

    Bloomberg announced his plans to seek re-election just three

    weeks ago.
