Shaking things up in the legislature or the executive branch is probably a good thing. My guess is that corruption is a side effect of a long tenure.

Term limits are a restriction on voter choice. via jeffandcarol.com They [...] There’s a world of difference between mourning a loss and remembering the one you lost. I’ve tried, since it happened, to come to grips with what happened. Patches was, to borrow a cliche, my best friend in the universe.
