Community board leader predicts Brooklyn voters will like term limits
The phrase “term limits” will be too enticing for voters to resist in November, according to a Bensonhurst community board leader who predicted that a ballot proposition limiting the amount of time members can serve on neighborhood boards will likely be approved by New Yorkers.
William Guarinello, chairperson of Brooklyn’s Community Board 11 (Bensonhurst-Bath Beach-Mapleton) said voters going to the polls on Nov. 6 will favor the Charter Revision Commission’s proposal to impose term limits on members of the city’s 59 community boards because the public generally agrees with the concept of term limits.
“People like term limits. It’s like the storming of the Bastille,” Guarinello told members at the community board’s Sept. 13 meeting at the Bensonhurst Health and Rehabilitation Center at 1740 84th St.
