Quinn held a news conference on Sunday, saying she had given the issue careful deliberation.She said voters deserved the choice of whether to keep the current leadership for longer than two terms.

Bloomberg, whose last day in office is Dec. 31, 2009, wants to modify the law and add the option for a third term. A bill has been introduced in the City Council.

Opponents say any change to the term-limit law has to come through the voters.

Term Limit Advocate State Senator Eric Adams says New York needs a mayor not a king.
