Term limits ……


Remember, it’s these elected officials statewide who determine the heart and soul of what ails California: salaries and pensions. We are done with the nonsense that “well, we have to match what ——- County pays to stay competitive.”


It might be better to follow Cal Poly’s example, purchase or build housing for staff to rent, so that we can lower their wages while providing affordability in their choice to live here. There is nothing new about government housing.
