The Texas senate recently approved a bill that would limit future statewide office holders to two consecutive terms. The bill goes to the house of representatives next.
Ultimately the issue would have to go before the voters in the form of a constitutional amendment before it would take effect.
Noticeably absent in the bill is any restriction on members of the legislature — they are not elected statewide. The can serve as long as the voters choose while offices like the governor, attorney general, comptroller and such will have term limits.
Hypocrites.
We deserve better

No way man. Limit our legislators? Then El Paso could never have all time greats like we have had in the past. It would not be fair to our newbies that they can’t get a nice pension to fund being gadflys like some previous defeated reps. Where would we find the entertainment.
