Columba U. Journalism students interview Suzannah B. Troy on term liimits

3 wonderful Columbia U. graduate  Journalism students filmed me with my art and interviewed me....I am answering a few questions more and one was how I felt about the results of the election re: Term Limits?  (Folks I am exhausted so excuse the typos but I write for people that get the heart and soul of what I am saying.)


Bittersweet, bittersweet because the way the bundled question on term limits  was presented was dishonest and corrupt. 

Mike Bloomberg himself said he would vote Yes so people asked me to vote NO so I would be voting against him.  Of  course I voted Yes but with anger at the corrupt dishonest way the question on term limits was presented.  Bloomberg chose the charter commission revision committee and they are responsible for questions 1 and question 2 being bundled in away so offensive that people were outraged but voters have learned we rarely have the luxury of what in who or what we believe in but in the lesser of two evils.  Opponents of Term Limits were angry they were not given the option of NO term limits what so ever.

The city council people that got their third term like our mayor Bloomberg through the corrupt dealings of Mike Bloomberg and his mini-me Christine Quinn denying us a referendum  pushing through a vote in city council using "slush and intimidation"  get to keep their 3rd term.   More and more we are experiencing the illusion of democracy not democracy.

Am I happy we got 2 years limit back and voters sent a strong message?  Yes.  But it won't undue the damage down and Mike Bloomberg' flushing democracy and the democratic process down the toilet.
