On Monday, state Sen. Blaise Ingoglia, R-Spring Hill, and state Rep. Michelle Salzman, R-Pensacola, filed a bill establishing eight-year term limits for county commissioners and prohibiting them from seeking certain offices until after a specified timeframe.
“People all over the United States believe term limits is great public policy. I do too. It ensures that government ideas remain vibrant by giving the next generation of leaders a chance to shine,” said Ingoglia.
“Term limits at all levels of government have been favored for years. Floridians want elected officials to be proactive. Term limits ensure fresh perspectives and accountability for our highest offices in the state, and we need that at the county level where seats can remain stagnant for decades,” said Salzman.
