New Bloomberg Job Rumor Is Followed by a Denial
The New York Times
By Fernanda Santos
The Times probes rumors about Mayor Bloomberg trying for a third term (which would require changes to term-limit rules). Political consultant George Arzt mentions one possible advantage to Bloomberg of a third term:
The prospect of a third term would give Mr. Bloomberg more control over his legacy, Mr. Arzt said. It could allow him to recover from recent setbacks like the defeat of the congestion pricing plan in Albany and delays in projects like the Atlantic Yards in Brooklyn because of the economic downturn.
NoLandGrab: The real setback for Bloomberg over Atlantic Yards began when he ceded control of the project to the state, along with any input into sensible design for the lumbering, over-subsidized project.
