Reader thinks term limits would lessen divisiveness and bring accountability

Mary Ann Andahl, The Orange County
Register “If term limits were
set for school-board trustees, I suspect there
would be far fewer recall attempts and less
divisiveness among parents, teachers and
supporting staffs. Perhaps saying, “not this time”
to incumbents, some of whom have serves 20, 30 or
more years, would eliminate the difficulties we
read about. From my experience, those who serve
more than eight or 12 years tend to lose focus and
ignore the constituency they serve ... Let’s start
sending messages to career politicians and let
them know that we hold them accountable for their
actions even at this level.
