Mayor’s ninth bid no surprise
He’s going for number nine.
Mayor John DeStefano Jr. announced this week he will run for re-election next year, even though he won’t launch his campaign until next spring. If the eight-term mayor wins the November 2009 election — a likely scenario given his present stronghold over city politics — he will become the longest-serving mayor in New Haven history, surpassing fellow eight-term mayor Richard “Dick” C. Lee.

He has nothing else to do.
He has repeatedly tried and failed to get elected to any higher office.

This man is the poster child for term limits. At least he's not the governor and CT as a whole has more sense than New Haven in who it elects.

Reasons why he should not be elected again:
1. City officials/Municipal workers have become very lazy & set in their ways
2. It makes absolutely no sense that streets are swept 4 times a month-- forcing residents to fear that their cars will be towed
3. Crime is getting worse, esp in the East Rock Area
4. He himself is lazy
5. LAZY LAZY LAZY. A Yale undergrad would make a better mayor

I think he should give some one else a chance- he has been in there too long
