Prop 28 (Term Limits): Yes or No?

Proposition 28, if voters approve it, will:

Reduce the total number of years a politician can serve in the California State Legislature from 14 years to 12 years.

Permit a legislator to serve these 12 years in either the California State Senate or the California State Assembly. This change would increase the number of years that a legislator could serve in either of those chambers. Proposition 28 would increase the number of years a legislator could remain in the California State Assembly from 6 years to 12 years. It would increase the number of years a legislator could remain in the California State Senate from 8 years to 12 years.

Term Limits have been a disaster. Increasing the amount of time one can serve in a single position will reduce job swapping.
