Term Limits Loses 3-2

Coming as no surprise, the town board voted down the term limit resolution presented by Mark Mayoka.      
What's interesting is the fact that Supervisor Petrone made a very good argument FOR term limits, stating, "It gives people the opportunity to move in different directions and brings the local perspective to higher levels of government – we can't do this without encouraging different opportunities at different levels."
Now the fun part begins!  Beginning at the end of this month, petitions for a 'two term' maximum for all elected officials will start circulating.
