3 year terms on March ballot

No one is talking about this referendum in one month's time of three year terms. These commissioners believe that their part-time job, a job for which they just doubled their salary by a flip of their Bic, deserves longer terms than a United States Representative.

 I say "no."

I think we keep turning them down. Comes a time we need to drain the swamp, even our little swamp here.

The excuse that they just get their feet wet and start to gain progress and have to start campaigning again. State another way, they can piss off a bunch of people early and voters have short memories.

I think they should be made to keep their eye on the next election around the corner.Do the right thing by the voters else they get drained.
