Should San Francisco Extend Supervisors’ Term Limits?
A proposed November ballot initiative is being floated that would enable San Francisco Supervisors to serve three terms, rather than two. Los Angeles voters recently extended term limits for City Council members, and the State Legislature is finalizing a term limits reform for the February 2008 state ballot. Conservatives have promoted term limits, and some progressives view limits as an important strategy for reinvigorating democracy. Would giving San Francisco Supervisors the right to serve a third term benefit local government, and, if so, would progressives gain from the proposal?
