It's Time for Term Limits!

It's Time for Term Limits!
It’s no secret the San Diego Board of Supervisors are out of touch with workers. They have cut hundreds of county jobs while refusing to use the $700 million they have in “rainy day” reserves to save jobs and services. At the same time, they continue to draw high salaries with huge perks, while other public officials have taken cuts. They’ve also refused to give up their $2 million slush funds they dole out to their own pet projects.

We need term limits for the San Diego County Board of Supervisors because:

The same politicians have run San Diego County for years, but have failed to address the most pressing issues facing our county.

 The current system makes it hard for qualified candidates to get elected because it is easier for incumbent Supervisors to get endorsements and to raise the funds necessary to get elected.

Supervisors have the power to dole out millions in tax payer dollars for “pet projects” in their districts, which often go to supporters, who give them an unfair advantage at the polls.

No incumbent Supervisor in San Diego County has lost a re-election bid in more than two decades.

Term limits will end the reign of career politicians and promote the opportunity for new leaders, new ideas to serve the best interests of our community and not special  interests.
