Apparently some SD legislators forgot about how the public voted in November;
The State Affairs Committee voted 5-4 Wednesday to endorse SJR3, a proposed constitutional amendment that would extend term limits to 12 consecutive years in a chamber. It also would change the current two-year terms in the Senate to four years.
And they wonder why we have ballot initiatives – go figure.
I’m all for extending the terms longer than they are. I’d rather have the legislators working than running for re-election.
Eventually, though, they need to retire. We don’t need career politicians at the state level.
Number one reason why term limits are a good idea; Bill Janklow.
