TERM LIMITS FOR LOOMIS TOWN COUNCIL-An Idea Whose Time Has Come

Here are some of the posts that we have received already on our blog @ termlimitsforloomis.wordpress.com

Let us hear your thoughts on Term Limits for the Loomis Town Council, we really want to know.

Interested Citizen - May 14th, 2009

I thought I was the only one in Loomis who believed “term limits” would be a boost for our town. I mean it is noble to want to serve your community, but when it drags on for 12, 16 years, let’s face it, it no longer is about serving the community, it’s about feeding your own ego! I would really like to know how my neighbors feel on this subject and I encourage anyone else who feels like I do to chime in. This is “our town”, I know a few council people feel like it’s “their town” and we all should be damn grateful that they let us live here, but it’s time we start asking the tough question, like what have they done for us. I see a lot of roads in disrepair. I refuse to vote for some moron standing on the corner holding his re-election sign every 4 years, wanting a council position and deserving a council position is entirely 2 different things!

I have lived in Loomis for over fifty years and have observed the council since its inception. We have had some very good council members, who I feel have tried to serve the communities best interest, but after a time of the constant bickering, and infighting they usually give up and move on to other ways to serve the community, or just give up and give in to the dominate few who seem to think it is my way or no way. I think term limits would be good for Loomis, maybe with term limits we could see things done to benefit our community and not just the good old boys with their special interest. I believe in slow growth and controlled growth, but some growth is necessary and inevitable. We need business to support our infrastructure. Maybe then we could repair our roads, extend our sewer system and do other necessary repairs and projects. It is time we learned to get along with our neighboring communities with respect,dignity, and negotiation . Lets stop spending what tax money we do have on law suits. Most elected government positions have term limits and we need them in Loomis. Talk to your friends and neighbors , what do they think about term limits? Lets keep Loomis rural and friendly, respectful and dignified.
