Children First and It’s Impact on
Latino Students in New York City

New York, New York

Footnote

1. In order to be allowed to run for a third term Mayor Bloomberg got members of the City Council, who would also benefit from the change, to approve a change in the City’s charter and allow for a one time exemption to the two-term rule for Mayor. Bloomberg claimed that such action was warranted due to the severe impact that the recession of 2008 had upon the City’s finances. During a press conference announcing his bid for a third term, he declared, “Given the events of recent weeks and given the enormous challenges we face, I don’t want to walk away from a city I feel I can help lead through these tough times” (Chen, 2008).
