Should San Francisco Extend Supervisors’ Term Limits?

Three cheers for term limits. The reason term limits came into existence is because of the utterly reactionary, anti-rent control, anti-gay (yes, we saw that when he was mayor against the Easter festival on Castro Street and framing a gay librarian on child molesting charges), millionaire gambling, election frauding thug Willie Brown, who enriched himself while promoting his reactionary policies, illegally making himself speaker of the assembly, and much more. While his fellow reactionaries may have other reasons to support term limits, the fact remains it is the only way we can get rid of the thugs who sit in office, a prime example being Willie Brown, a proud Democrat. Since we have no proportional representation whereby each party is represented in the legislative body (federal, state and local) if it wins at least 5% of the vote, we must support term limits. I will be voting no on any anti-term limits ballot measure on the San Francisco or California ballots. All the Democrats who oppose term limits can thank their fellow Democrat, Willie Brown, for our term limit laws. The sooner we get rid of both the Democrat and Republican parties, the sooner we can make real progress.
