[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Hey quick question- do any of you have any thoughts o whether or not it is a good idea to have term limits for a county executive?[/quote] Against. The voting is the term limit.[/quote] Thanks for answering! My gut instinct is to agree with you. But I have also seen the very real advantage that incumbency brings, particularly in local elections. The name recognition, the "free publicity" of representing at events, ability to get donations, etc. It creates a very uneven playing field that makes it difficult for any voter to truly evaluate on the merits. What was the rationale for a term limit on president? Why would it not apply to the chief executive of a smaller unit of government (as opposed to legislative)? Genuine question that I don't know the answer to, but will look into...[/quote]
