80,000 New Yorkers have signed the petition.
"if a million people believe a foolish thing, it is still a foolish thing", anatol france
As with every other NYC ballot initiative, the City of New York is denying the will of its people to vote on the issues it considers most important.
2007 population of New York City: 8,363,000. The number of people that eots believes represents the "will" of the entire city: 80,000. The percentage of the city's population represented on the petition 0.96 % (give or take).
So, less than 1% represent the "will" of the people. Talk about tyranny of the minority.
