The Truth About Prop 93
Sacramento's Most Powerful Politicians are Trying to Gut Term Limits
The President of the State Senate and Speaker of the State Assembly are termed out next year and are desperate to hang on to their perks and power. So they want to change California's term limits law so they can remain in the Legislature for years to come.
The Politicians Want to Fool the Voters
They are trying to weaken term limits by pushing a misleading initiative that falsely claims to toughen term limits but actually increases terms for most politicians!
Under the Politicians' Scheme, Assembly Terms Would Be Doubled and Senate Terms Increased by 50% and 42 Termed Out Incumbents Could Remain in Office The politicians are cynically claiming their initiative is a reduction (!) in terms by saying politicians wil1 only be able to serve a maximum of 12 years in one legislative chamber instead of the 14 years currently allowed if a politician serves the full 6 years in the Assembly and 8 years in the Senate.
But over 80% of legislators would have their time in office greatly increased and Assembly terms would be doubled from 6 years to 12 years and Senate terms increased from 8 years to 12 years. There's also a special incumbent politician loophole that allows 42 termed out legislators -- including the Senate President and Assembly Speaker -- to remain in office for several more years.
