Legislature Term Limit Increase

<< < (3/6) > >>

DaveB:
I am voting no on the pay raise. It was designed in the beginning to be an honor to serve in the government, not a job. They have taken it to a new level thinking they are worth more than they are getting. Don't forget the paid expenses and other bennies they get after they serve their two terms. They are overpaid for what they do for us, what little they find the time to do, that is.

I am also voting to not extend term limits, they can't get anything done in two terms, why should we suffer through a third one. It is time to get people in government that are going to work for us, and not for their own securities. Our government is broken, and letting these losers stay in office is proof that they are the ones responsible for it.

You would be hard pressed to remember the name of the last senator that actually did something to help the people, they are that hard to remember.

Oh I dunno .... Tony Fulton SHOULD be remembered for a long time. I'd love to see him residing at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave one day.

Term limits drive me nuts, they only exist to remove some one ELSE's representative from power. They taken discretion out of the hands of the voters when it comes to retaining good representatives.

If people are passionate that a change needs to be made, people should be more active in making that change happen.

That would work if we got to vote for every senator. What doesn't work is Ernie Chambers or any other nutjob having a never ending job in Lincoln and becoming WAY too powerful. The only thing that stops that is term limits.

David Hineline:
Term limits are a pointless futility, we have term limits every time we vote.  For the life of me I do not know why they work but they do.
