Bid to Limit Incumbents’ Terms Fails
A petition drive in Inglewood aimed at limiting elected officials to three consecutive terms has died because of a lack of interest.
Supporters of the Charter amendment initiative, who said they were fighting stagnation and abuse of power among incumbent officeholders, failed to meet a Feb. 5 deadline to get on the June ballot.

The group, known as Inglewood Citizens for Reasonable Reform, has until April 9 to qualify for the November ballot.
