Live blogging on term-limits, cont'd.

Bill de Blasio, who has been an opponent of the term-limits extension, just delivered his remarks. Charles Barron is up now. The Brooklyn councilman and hopeful for Brooklyn borough president is warming up for an impassioned plea akin to the ones he's been giving throughout this process.

"The bottom line, Mayor Bloomberg has not been the best person to run this city," he said, putting the current "economic mess" at hizzoner's doorstep.

Mr. Barron compared Mr. Bloomberg to Hugo Chavez, the Venezuelan president who quietly accepted the results of a referendum earlier this year that thwarted his attempt to extend term limits in his country.

"Mayor Bloomberg, be like Hugo," said Mr. Barron. "Let the people decide."

The people of the City of New York have already twice upheld term limits in 1993 and 1996.
