Here's Brooklyn Councilwoman Tish James explaining her vote on the term limits extender bill a few moments ago on the Council floor:

"I believe that this is really all about a legacy—about Moynihan Station, about Willets Point, about the West Side, about Ground Zero, and yes, about Atlantic Yards; and about the displacement of low, moderate and working families in New York City. Let me end by decrying, let the people decide."

Just in case there's any ambiguity, she voted "no" on the bill.
