Term Limits (Not)
The governor of North Carolina suggests we suspend Congressional elections so Congress won't have to worry about, um, elections. TPM rolls its eyes. I suppose democracy purists might get their knickers in a twist over this one but my friend Marc, who does municipal bankruptcy work, has for some time been suggesting that city council members take office for life. Most of our municipal misfortune, reasons Marc, occurs because city councils become adept at Kicking the Can Down the Road. Sorry, we can't give you a pay raise. Top of your pension? Hm. Won't come due until Hell Freezes Over? Ah, got it, no problem. How much better to devise a system in which each team has to clean up its own poo-poo.
