Dromm: Statement on Term Limits

"The voters of New York City have twice voted in favor of term limits. I strongly believe that any attempt to overturn the will of the voters by legislative maneuvering will undermine our democracy. Term limits have helped bring a new generation of leaders into city government. New voices and progressive ideas are the tangible benefits from the increased opportunity for citizens to serve. Term limits can help keep elected officials accountable to the public and defend against the abuses of unlimited tenure. The people of New York City benefit when our elections are more competitive and the nearly insurmountable advantage of incumbency is leveled. I urge Mayor Bloomberg and the members of the City Council to respect the voters of our great City.- Daniel Dromm"
