| A Quinnipiac poll released today shows that most New York City voters are opposed to a third term by any method. An earlier poll showed that 75% of New Yorkers oppose the mayor's power grab. Apparently, too many "representatives" are more interested in their own self-interest than in the public interest.
According to NY1, James Oddo has announced he opposes the mayor's power grab, giving the Republicans a clean sweep. Unfortunately, Peter Vallone has gone the wrong (excuse me, the "other") way.
We still need five votes. The 13 officially "undecided" are:
Arroyo
Brewer
Dickens
Felder
Foster
Gerson
Gonzalez
Katz
Lappin
McMahon
Sanders
White
Yassky
It seems to me that there are five or six among this list who could very easily vote against the mayor -- but we need to keep the pressure up. If you haven't called your Council member (find your rep. here), now is the time to act. If you have, call and e-mail your friends, neighbors, co-workers, etc. Let them know that their right to choose is at stake. |
