We do need term limits

In response to this article in the dnj.
Vice mayor: Council needs experience, not term limits
I'm willing to vote for guys that have served far too many terms like Toby Gilley and Chris Bratcher, but that doesn't mean I am not for term limits. I hope that our city council will address this issue soon and have the courage to put term limits in place because its the right thing to do.

People in power are rarely ever for term limits, they say let the people decide. But everyone should know incumbents have an advantage in political races, and trust me, people in power know this. One must ask the question why someone feels the need to hold the same position for 20 plus years, is it the power? Is it the money? Because if its to help the people, you could do that by staying active once you leave office. I think its important that people serve and then find good people to replace them. I can sum up my opinion with "Politicians are like diapers, they must be changed often, and its usually for the same reason."
