State term limits proposal submitted

Backers of the initiative to reduce legislative terms from 14 years to 12 years but allow legislators to spend their entire service in one body are turning in 1.1 million signatures today to qualify the proposal. That's nearly 400,000 more than required by the Secretary of State, and should be enough to get the initiative on the ballot.California Majority Report.

Both progressives and conservatives are lining up to support the effort, according to the press release.

Allan Zaremberg, President and CEO of the California Chamber of Commerce said: "Solutions to California's numerous issues will be easier when legislators aren't in a constant campaign cycle and are more accountable to the voters in competitive districts."
