Reply to comment by pk10534 in Baltimore City Board of Ethics says new pension bill presents conflict of interest by contra_account

I won’t stop the narrative because I kind of believe it. You kind of admit and every analysis admits alit as well. Every single amendment that has come up to a vote for the past 25 years or so has been “yes”. I still think that term limits (except for the executive branch) is not a good idea and creates new and worse problems.

And the pension is for elected positions only. So it not that easy. The only people running now will be those who are wealthy enough to not worry about saving for a retirement.

Again, have you ever heard of a 401k? That is absolutely absurd to say they have no options for retirement savings. Secondly, 82% of Americans want term limits. Has Sinclair suddenly hypnotized 200+ million Americans, or is it more likely that it’s a pretty bipartisan opinion that politicians in a democracy should not have unlimited durations of political power?
