Once or twice a year, or so it seems, we get the same people calling for term limits. It has failed before and hopefully fail again. Why can they not understand? Your vote IS the term limit.
Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush are good examples, but so is a the 5 time Florida Mayor that just lost to a twenty something year old that worked for the city. I can't honestly remember the name of the city other than it is nearby and starts with a D.
These term limit crazy people just don't get it. They think if you limit the persons experience then they will get better results. Not so.
(Climbing on my soapbox)
As for the national offices, putting term limits on politicians doesn't help the country until you eliminate their salary and medical benefits for life after serving only one or two terms. THAT is the travesty.
Have congress and the senate make those changes and save the taxpayers millions every year.
I think the only one that should receive a pension for political office without AT LEAST 20 years service is the office of the president of the United States and the Vice President.
Congress and the Senate should serve at least 20 years before being eligible for a pension JUST like our servicemen, police and firemen.
Okay, back to issue at hand for the village...
(stepping down to the lower soapbox)
Term limits for Century Village is inherent within the system already. If you feel the incumbent needs to be replaced, then just vote him or her out of office.
