While I might like a constitutional conservative having the option to get his or her term extended, past practice has proven that for 90 percent of the legislature more time spent in Lansing means more time to forget why the citizens of their district elected them.  Are they so undereducated that it takes them 6 or 8 years to learn the job?  Private business would not tolerate just a long break-in time.

Anything that prolongs their stay just gives them more time to get cozy with the lobbyists.  I don't mean to indict all politicians but as they say "if the shoe fits, wear it."
