Then when our new elected "pol" is termed out, we elect someone else, NEW. to the job. And so it goes.
How else are we to build up expertise, and I mean expertise in government if we keep turning out our local state office holders. We don't do this "term out" after so many years on the Federal level of offices , and I am unclear how prevalent that policy is on the local school board ,city, county level.
That is just my observation from the local level. I am just a pathetic fisher person for trout, steelhead and salmon, and anything else that comes along. When I say fisher person, I mean that I fish and hope to catch. Lots of fishing, little catching. I love every minute of fishing, and have never regretted those hours doing the "last cast"
