Rejecting a measure for smaller political gains seems like a gross waste, when the measure itself is a useful and beneficial one.

I think it's a dirty trick to let the current people "transition" to the new system, but it's not exactly a reason to vote against the bill if you think the changes are good. But I'm also against all term limits--Let me vote for who I want to vote for!

The SF Chronicle’s no position on the measure, for example, sounds more like a diatribe against Núñez and Perata than a sound evaluation of the proposition going beyond this transitional period.

But I’m also against all term limits–Let me vote for who I want to vote for!
