The worst example of this was her using her power to overturn term-limits. We must remember that this came at a time when the “slush fund” scandal was fresh in our minds. By selfishly extending herself and the Mayor a third term, she got a chance to try and rehabilitate her reputation. So far, 2 former council members, Miguel Martinez and Hiram Monserrate have been convicted of felonies, and a third, Seabrook, up for another trial. This corruption happened on her watch.

In recent years, she has turned the City Council into her own personal, “what I say, goes…” form of government. Time after time (paid sick leave bill, for example) there have been bills with a strong majority of support which she refuses to put up for a vote simply because she doesn’t agree.

Mr Allon, as he disclosed, is running for Mayor in 2013, and he, along with ANY other potential candidate will make a better mayor than Christine Quinn.
