TERM LIMITS FOR MARIN COUNTY SUPERVISORS
Limit Marin County Supervisors to two terms (eight years) like other Bay Area Counties! Stop big money from controlling the board decade after decade!
Why is this important?
There are nine San Francisco Bay Area Counties. Marin County is one of if not the only county without term limits. Marin is home to the most undeveloped wild lands in the Bay Area. There are tens of thousands of acres of open space developers want. Marin supervisors are often supported by pro development groups from as far away as Los Angles. One supervisor has sat for sixteen years in a district that was specifically laid out by his predecessor to be impossible to beat an incumbent (he just won a fifth term out spending his rival by many times). The predecessor retired after 30 years and could never be dislodged from office. Marin County deserves new ideas and eight years is enough to effect change while in office. All of Marin County will benefit from this change.
