I wish that was the case but once a slug gets in a term or two the connections he makes, makes it practically impossible to remove him.
if term limits are go enough for the potus, they are good enough for the other dead heads in dc
would like to see the stats showing someone who has two or three terms under their belt getting the boot with a straight vote minus any kind of scandel.
Eagler, you're right- we have term limits in California but all that means is they limit out as an assembly person then run for the State Senate and limit out and then get appointed to a 100,000 dollar a year "job" on the waste management board where they meet once every three months.
Districts are jerry rigged to the point it's impossible for a politician from an opposing party to have a chance- it is the very worst of a political machine, and in my district (controlled by Dems) another Dem has no chance even without the proper connections.
We don't have elections, we have coronations. Our current assembly person and current state senator will never face a real challange- they are part of the system, and will retire very wealthy.
