It looks as if the City Council will have a fight on its hands if it tries to tinker with the term-limits law.
Mayor Bloomberg declared yesterday that he’d oppose any effort to put a third referendum on the ballot to change the law, which obliges city elected officials to pack it in after two terms.
“I think the public has spoken twice and they’ve spoken quite clearly. I don’t know that you should keep shopping for a different answer,” the mayor said.
“The public shouldn’t be bothered continuously with the same question.”
Term limits was enacted in 1993 and re-affirmed in 1996, when then-Council Speaker Peter Vallone failed to convince voters to make any changes.
