Term limits are broadly supported supported by both parties, and 8 year/2 terms is a very common limit for executive positions.

I hope that the election to succeed elrich had at least one democrat who makes it a centerpiece of their campaign to eliminate the “attainable housing” proposal.

Ever wonder why you “believe in term limits”? I am sure you are a completely original thinker /s


Because I don’t think anybody should be in power for too long. It’s good to have fresh ideas.

Yeah, that's why I voted against it too. I live in a sfh on the "poor" side of MoCo so now we're screwed.


+1

This was advanced by a Republican. Not only will our neighborhoods be bulldozed but get ready for the Republican agenda to start taking hold. You want books banned in libraries, no reason police stops for black and brown people, and the other things things MAGA is pushing? Well, you opened the door and let the Trojan horse on in. Dummies.


It was supported, quietly but persistently, by progressive politicals who were tired of Elrich stepping in with common sense arguments against their agenda. There aren't enough R's in the county for it to have passed without that.


We really need to find someone credible and sane to run against whoever the YIMBYs dream candidate is. I’ll donate today.

So I would have liked a third term for him, and I think the timing of this ballot initiative is pretty suspect and is being driven by the people who want to destroy single-family zoning. But as a general matter, I think two terms is enough, so I voted for the measure.


Yep! Mixed feelings. Maybe Elrich will run for another office??

Voters votes are the term limits. This was a power grab driven by Republicans who deliberately concealed their affiliation. This is exactly the MO of the Republican Party who has very successfully infiltrated local governments and school boards. Get ready for more book ban attempts, anti immigrant sentiment, and developer / corporate driven agendas that screw over middle class and working class people just like the “attainable housing strategies”.

I think that part sucks. Because they are term-limited, they have become much more activist and try to pass more bills, so that they can build their resume for their next office.
