Speaking in limited terms

Tom Guleff has some words for Shelby County politicians who oppose a November voter initiative that would create term limits on several positions. From his press release:

Memphis and Shelby County voters will get a chance to decide whether term limits should be applied to several elected positions come November. However, it is unfortunate that there are some local politicos attempting to make this nonpartisan issue, a "political party" issue. [...] Whether one agrees or disagrees with the issue, term limits along with good governance should not be viewed through the prism of party loyalty.

I agree strongly. I can see both pros and cons to having term limits, but I definitely don't see either their presence or their absence as fodder for political gain by one party or another.
