Term-limits reinvent the wheel every few years which is a colossal waste of time and leaves the permanent government untouched, Thomas Suddes
Term limits, a balanced budget:Say, for example, a state representative in Ohio reaches year eight of his or her tenure. That means returning to West Nowhere or running for a seat in the state Senate.
The same is true of a state senator reaching an eighth year in that chamber; time to leave Capitol Square for home — or seek an Ohio House seat or, or get a job from whomever happens to be governor. Given that there are three Ohio House districts for every Senate district, we’re talking Rubik’s Cube-style career-planning.— Sen. X scratches Rep. Y’s back, and vice-versa — to land another job or office, or a lobbying gig.
That means the legislative branch of Ohio’s government is short-term, even though it’s supposed to be a check and balance against the long-term parts of state government — Ohio’s executive bureaucracy and the Statehouse’s teeming business lobbies. True, Ohioans overwhelmingly supported General Assembly term-limits when placed on the ballot in 1992 by conservative foes of 20-year Democratic House Speaker VTerm-limits on the legislature drew yes votes from 68% of those voting on it. That same day in 1992, voters also strongly backed term-limits on Ohio’s U.S. senators and U.S. representatives . And voters also placed term-limits on Ohio’s attorney general, auditor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state and treasurer.
