NEW YORK AP-Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced Thursday that he’s pushing for changes that would allow him to seek a third term, saying he wants to handle unfinished city business including the “unprecedented challenges” brought on by the financial meltdown.
“The question for me has become much less about the theoretical and much more about the practical,” the one-time proponent of term limits said at a City Hall news conference. “And so to put it in very practical terms, handling this financial crisis while strengthening the essential services such as education and public safety is a challenge I want to take on for the people of New York.”
