FL: Senate panel OK's term limits for County Commission, School Board

[RandySF]

A bill that would limit County Commissioners and School Board members to serving just eight years is advancing in the Senate.

Sen. Blaise Ingoglia’s bill (SB 1110) comes fast on the heels of 12-year School Board term limits approved in last year’s legislation (SB 1467). County Commission members aren’t currently term-limited statewide, although some counties have term limits.

Tuesday marked the first committee stop for the idea in the Senate, getting a nod from the Senate Ethics and Elections Committee with Democrats opposed.

Miami Republican Rep. Alex Rizo filed similar legislation (HB 477) that has received approval on the House floor with Democrats’ dissent, 79-29.

Supporters have argued the change mirrors term limits for state lawmakers, the Governor and even the U.S. President.

1. The phrase "term limits" doesn't describe what these really are

Every elected position already has a "term limit." It's exactly one term. Then an election is held. If the voters like what the person has been doing, they get re-elected. If the voters don't like what the person has been doing, they don't get re-elected.

Whet these really are are "re-election limits" intended to quash the will of the people and prevent them from voting for whom they want. It's the only way the fascists can weasel their way into office and resume their destruction of democracy.

Even the US presidential term limit was enacted only because people, quite understandably, kept re-electing FDR and the republicans, after failing to assassinate him, jammed through the 22nd Amendment.
