From the Daily News:A well-informed source called in to say that three Council members - David Yassky, Alan Gerson and Gale Brewer - are poised to introduce an amendment to the mayor's term limits bill that could throw a sizable wrench into the works of tomorrow's vote.
As I understand it, the amendment would change the last paragraph of the bill, which requires that it would take effect immediately, to require that the measure NOT take effect unless and until it is affirmed by a public referendum.
The amendment would also create a special election charter commission that would be tasked with setting up the referendum before the 2009 election.
And we're up to 23 opposed to the mayor's bill as of today.

So Bloomie needs 8 of the 10 that are still 'undecided'? Or will some of these guys change their mind at the last minute?
On the off chance that Bloomberg can't make this happen, I'm going to be laughing, a lot.
Yassky, Gerson, Brewer...even Ed Koch !
I thaught I may have been a little racist in the past but its official now.
Jews ALWAYS side with other Jews! The People, whats right or wrong has no meaning !
Bloomberg is trying to run the city like a business, flushing its life’s blood and heritage straight down the toilet for the profet of his friends
This rogue mob of Pirates (and that what they are PIRATES) need to ALL be thrown out ASAP
PULL THE FLUSH CHAIN ON THEM BEFORE THEY GET ALL THE DOMINOS IN PLACE

is there any doubt that a referendum on a three term limit change would pass 9 to 1??
Theres ignorant people who have called this blog sometimes racist, but those people have no clue or cry wolf if you point out the never questioning jewish vote.Its a small chunck of the Zionist mafia that runs israel my friends.Does anybody in Congress dare question AIPAC jewish lobby concering the murder of Palestinians and the slow taking of their land threw occupation?Tel Aviv use to be called Tel A Rabe before 1948.History can be rewritten and we believe what were told, not what we take time to search out critically.But we point out jews who go along with the Kings new rules for NYC and we are called anti semites or bigots.I dont think so bloomie and company.Cry wolf all ya want but we see whats going on.
Man this sight is getting more and more anti-semetic every day.
hey joe, the three are against the bill if the public gets no say.
I'm a jew and I hate Bloomberg (but not as much as other politicians, ie Ferrer)so can we stop with the disgusting rants!
- joe is easily the biggest bigot on this site.
Hey joe. glad to see you've added antisemitism to your list of hates./
For the record, all "jews" dont vote the same. They think and vote for themselves, just like other people.
Man this sight is getting more and more anti-semetic every day.??
Im sorry to point out that Palestine was stolen and caused them to be starved and put in walls to die from a supremicist movemnet called Zionism.Cry racism all you want.Thats what they have done to congress members who try to stop the 6 billion every 6 months to israel the U.S. gives thats a big welfare to rewrite a land that never had Russian Khazar jews hundreds of years ago.By the way Ariel Sharon said the U.S. rules the world, but we(Israel) rule the U.S.
AIPAC anyone.
For the record, all "jews" dont vote the same. They think and vote for themselves, just like other people.
Yeah very few like Stern the Journalist at the hearings.NYC does not need anymore buildings cramed in and another million people bloomberg.Do the Lubavitchers have more power than black residents in Crown Heights???
