Such a ridiculous and flawed report. First of all it is a slam on our military. Second, the…Read More assumption is made that all calls made from California locations are made by Californians. Shame on the Patch for perpetuating such nonsense!

Hi Lionel,
The only person I can recall who was in favor of term limits was Marcia Rudolph, the…Read More incumbent city council member who was recently defeated.
I think your point about "new blood" is a good one. In my businesses I always liked to change out a lawyer or an accountant to get the benefits of a fresh look. Although there are potential downsides to this, overall I found it an effectrive strategy to look at this every 5 or so years. The fact that you are open to change also helps keep the existing people on their toes.
As far as the record of our legal team, it is a poor one, with millions of dollars being spent every year. No other city around here spends a greater % on legal services than we do. Nor have they had so many fruitless adventures, such as the day laborer ban, the sex offender ban, etc.

Is there anyone who is against term limits?
And what about term limits for our staff and our…Read More contractors? Doesn't the same rationale - "new blood" - apply to staff and contractors like our legal firm that keeps getting us into lawsuits, charging great sums, and often leaving us with no gains.
