This Term Limit Petition is a project that has been ongoing for over a year now and it now in the validation phase. The petition was to limit the County Commissioners term of office to 8 years.
The State of Florida already has this 8 year limit.
Several Freepers in the county have helped out in gathering petitions. It's an issue that almost 80% of the voters support, regardless of party affiliation.
The interesting aspect of this is that various County Commissioners have been fighting against this petition and using County resources, primarliy legal, to fight it on very dubuious legal grounds.
It appears that the necessary number of valid petitions will be had but the shenanigans by the County - afterall, this is Palm Beach County - may yet not allow it on the ballot this November.
P.S. You may remember Carol Roberts from the vote counting fiasco back in Election 2000.

Good Luck in your efforts. Aaronson, Roberts, Greene and Marcus should be individually sued for improper use of taxpayer funds.

"It's an issue that almost 80% of the voters support, regardless of party affiliation." Well, there's the kiss of death for term limits. Palm Beach County Floriduh voters will never figure out how to vote the way they want.
