Despite two votes in which New Yorkers resoundingly endorsed the two-term limit, our present cast of elected officials can take advantage of a loophole in the current term limit law to run for a third term. There is not much to warrant a third term for them. By every objective standard, New York is not being governed well. Further, those engaged in the act of governance--our elected officials-- are hardly paragons of municipal success, nor can they point to singular accomplishments. There is no justification for the existence of this loophole. Therefore, the Community Action Civic Association, Inc. (COMACTA) believes this loophole should be abolished. The New York Civic organization is spearheading this effort, and they are to be congratulated for their efforts. COMACTA members look forward to working with New York Civic in this vital endeavor.
