Updates on the vote?

Unfortunately, the vote went 4 to 3 to extend term limits. This was expected. However, the meeting was one of the craziest I've ever seen. This first part is the public comments:https://www.facebook.com/ykersvoice/videos/535039641772057/

But, you really should only watch this second half where the council members speak. It gets wild. Crying, yelling, finger-pointing, a literal fight breaks out and people are escorted from the chamber. It was embarrassing. https://www.facebook.com/ykersvoice/videos/978934573496768/

What's most odd is that the council president, Lakisha Collins-Bellamy, said she supports a referendum in 2023, but she's approved the fourth term extension now anyway. So, she's taking away your vote now, but will give it to you next year when it won't matter for Spano or Breen.
