Dodging Term Limits

Something seems a bit fishy at the County Hall of Administration (“Term Limits’ Dark Side,” editorial, Aug. 6). The county orchestrated a way to get rid of a two-term term-limit initiative and replace it with its own--which would give each of the supervisors an additional four-year term. The supervisors really found a way to have their cake and eat it too--an extra term and the public goodwill value of putting an initiative on the ballot themselves. If I didn’t have a reason to support term limits at the county before, I surely do now.
