I'm not convinced that term limits are a good idea. I am infuriated at the professional politicians who were perfectly willing to destroy the government of Knox County, just so they could stay in power. If it were up to me, the scumbags that instituted this lawsuit should be thrown out of office, and be barred from ever running for public office again.
I concur that term limits as normally envisioned may not be the best idea. I propose that the limit be on consecutive terms ie. serve two terms and then sit one or two out before standing for election again. This would allow a 'breather' from crooks and also allow the people to vote a good guy to get back in.
