Year after year thousand of bills are submitted, yet only a few hundred are passed. This may be a sign that term limits are necessary, since no new ideas are being submitted and redundant bills keep appearing.

After 10 to 12 years, an elected official should have submitted all of their ideas for new, meaningful bills. Time and money is wasted to reconsider the same bills.

Let the new bill for term limits pass. This will help to expand efficiency in government.
