Term LimitsBy Paul E. DudrichCandidate for State Representative; District 115; Democratic Party |

Pennsylvania's governors have been limited to serving two four-year terms since the 1960s. Term limits for the governor are written into the Constitution.I believe that career politicians have negative implications for democracy. A poll conducted by Quinnipiac University in May 2007, posed this question: "Do you support or oppose a constitutional amendment limiting state senators to 2 four year terms, and state house members to 4 two year terms meaning state senators and house members would serve no more than 8 years in office?" 75 percent of 1318 respondents to the poll favored such an amendment, while only 19 percent were opposed and six percent weren't sure. In Pennsylvania's most populous areas, legislative term limits were even more popular. 78 percent of Philadelphians and 81 percent of Allegheny Countians responded favorably to the question. |
