THE CITY ROOM EDITORS REMOVED MY COMMENT, SO MUCH FOR FREE SPEECH AND MOST OF THEM SHARE MY FEELINGS. THE ONE THAT REPLACED ME IS EQUALLY STRONG BUT SAFER. http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/10/23/council-to-debate-term-limits-change/?apage=16#comments

YOUR COMMENT IS AWAITING MODERATION.
Christine Quinn’s comments were laughable including “the conflict of interest committee” not thinking City Council voting themselves a raise is a conflict of interest to swearing there were no back room dealings when the mayor has admitted to a 20 million dollar slush fund and Dan Doctoroff left to work for his private empire. I only wish when council members voted it was revealed how much money they were received from Bloomberg’s slush or from his friends or his organizations. Democracy is going the way of Wall Street, the more rules and limits given away the closer to an infrastructure collapse and in this case it is democracy.
