Term limits.  I would prefer campaign finance reform.  If you limit the money and gifts coming into politics, you don’t need term limits, because bad incumbents become much easier to beat.  And, some people have served for a lifetime and done an excellent job.

I see term limits in the city of Houston come to mean they play musical office holders chairs and they just scamper around seeking each others jobs when their term is up.

On the other hand, with this Supreme Court, campaign finance reform ain’t gonna happen.

The Texas Senate today voted 28 – 3 for HJR13, which would limit non-judicial statewide officeholders to two consecutive terms in office.  The starting point would be 2014 – the next election.  This means that officeholders can serve more than two terms if they sit out one term.  Humm … that seems like something that could be become a family full employment act pretty quickly.

I have not made up my mind about this term limits stuff.

You might have.  Let’s hear it.
