RSS FeedsDefending term limits
1.
What great comments I have read,and glad to to see the voters are paying attention. I am fed up with the self serving liberals who want to RUIN CALIF. State is broke and I get sick of seeing the LEECHES trying to suck the state more by their ENTITLEMENT DEMANDS for wanting rewards for BREAKING and ENTERING into USA.
2. Term limits have failed to improve the quality of our legislators. How can limits on voter choice be justified if they are not having the promised effect?
3. Phillip....this opinion peice was so stunningly perfectly written, that I had to scroll back up and verify I was at the L.A. Times site! You nailed it. Nunez needs to spend his time worring about The Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights, The Fair Political Practices Commission and the State Ethics Board's investigation into his blatant campaign contribution violations and keep his termed-out nose out of serious state business. This corrupt crook represents everything that's wrong with politics in this state, and he fools absolutely no one who actually reads. Good riddance! Again, nice job Phillip!
4. Nunez and Perata spend their time, effort and money crafting the deceptive and self serving initiative to LENGTHEN their terms in office at a time when the state is nearing bankruptcy. A fiscal disaster in large part due to their mismanagement. How revealing. Their true allegiance and primary interest is not in solving the problems of our state but in gaining more power for themselves.
5. Sorry Mr. Nunez, but nobody in any elected office should ever have a lifetime tenure. Many folks would like to have the Federal Government have term limits. All elected officials should be term limited. The only elected Federal position that is term limited is the President of the United States. All elected position should be term limited It's obvious that our politicians care more for themselves than their constituents. The longer they're in office the more corrupt they are.
6. Nunez is the worst poster boy for ending term limits, with his misuse of taxpayer funds for fancy, French wines and meals and travel -- especially, as a proponent of the unions, the "people" who are also behind a lot of our local financial crisis: even the pro=union, pro-immigrant Mayor admits he'd have never approved the recent raises coming exactly as the budget crisis hit. Term limits would have maybe been more effectively lobbied by a beloved person who's done a lot -- not just for unions and casinos, and raising taxes, and supporting illegals as part of that whole ethnic lobby.
7. One of the great delights from the last election was voting No on Prop. 93, and kicking the idiots Nuņez and Perata out of office. It's always a great day when voters can dispose of do-nothing nincompoops like those two.
8. Good article and you are right. We also need term limits for Congress.
