Crains: Dromm Will Run No Matter What

From Crains:"Facing the term limits squeeze" by Matt Sollars

The Working Families Party’s decision to oppose the legislative extension of term limits—and the possibility that it will campaign against supporters who seek re-election in 2009—will make some City Council members think twice about voting to allow a third term.

In Queens, council members Peter Vallone Jr. and Helen Sears represent districts that voted overwhelmingly for term limits in the 1990s. Of the two, Sears is especially vulnerable. One of the candidates for her seat, veteran public school teacher Daniel Dromm, has already won the support of the United Federation of Teachers and says he will run no matter what.
