District Poster Pressures Lappin

A reader emailed this photo of a poster that's up in midtown Manhattan, urging people to call City Councilwoman Jessica Lappin to push her to vote against changing the city’s term-limits law.

It's part of the Working Families Party's campaign to block the Bloomberg-backed bill.

Lappin, despite the considerable attention, is among the undecided, and her decision on this issue is worth watching. Unlike 35 of her colleagues, she’s not term-limited in 2009 (she was elected in 2005), so the issue is somewhat academic for her.

Also, many of her constituents are Wall Street executives--exactly the sort of voter to whom Bloomberg is trying to appeal to.
