Term Limits

I'm sorry to see that a petition drive to end term limits in the MI state legislature has failed. The petition would have also instituted a part-time legislature.

Term Limits sounded good when they were enacted but have given us a legislature full of trainees and retards. They have no sense of history, no experienced leadership and no motivation to perfect their trade. This leads to a legislature run by staffers and lobbyists, since they are the only ones who understand what is going on.

We need less legislation and better legislation. The system we have now is broken, and it looks like it is going to stay that way. Too bad.

HI Fred, I find your comments really readable and insightful and nicely SHORT ( I have that attention span problem you know). I felt really psyched about more films being made here but you are right about it just being a temporary boom to the service industry and not so much about developing technical jobs here. I'm hoping this comment actually gets posted not sure of the procedure here. Cheers, Rosemary
