Don't Bogart That Job

Here's one argument I missed in my current cover story on term limits: elected officials' support, or lack thereof, for the legalization of marijuana.

A (small) group of citizens in San Diego County are angry that their board of supervisors voted to ignore California's law legalizing medical marijuana. (Counties are supposed to issue I.D. cards to medical marijuana users.) In response, the activists are gathering signatures to impose a two-term limit on supervisorial service.

"These supervisors have been running unopposed for years," Claudia Little, a retired nurse from Point Loma, complained to the San Diego Union-Tribune. "They feel they can really do anything because they just get voted in year after year."

Isn't smoking dope supposed to make you more relaxed?
