Message: <blockquote data-quote="Colt45" data-source="post: 501138" data-attributes="member: 1693">I believe there was voter confusion regarding whether the 2022 measure term limit applied to state or federal offices.Just as there is confusion with measure 1 and 2 right now, both are constitutional changes and I think most people don't really understand that. Maybe I'm wrong about that, its just my opinion.Was the legislature butt hurt?  I really don't know but yes it seems like they were, they tried to change it and were struck down by the supreme court like you said, and rightfully so.Usual arguments for term limits is to curb political corruption, break up entrenched power,and force a regular rotation of citizens into the system. All very good reasons for term limits.I think the federal government wins the state vs federal argument in all three of those categories hands down, and its not even close. But alas we have no term limits at the federal level for congress and probably never will.You are of the opinion we have the same issue at our state level that we do at the federal, atleast that's what I assume is your opinion or argument. I don't believe that's the case,but we do have corruption and fraud at the state level and it does seem to be getting worse.Is term limits the answer? I guess we will find out in a few years when we start forcing peopleout of office because of term limits. I do indeed hope you are right, call me skeptical I guess.Like I said before, I am on the fence state term limits as I just don't think all our legislatures are dummies, and we may term limit out the good ones to soon, whose replacement you might be even more disappointed with.Thanks for your honest feedback.</blockquote>
