ny governor to propose term limits, outside income ban

[butters]

“I want people to believe in their government again,” Hochul said in a statement on Monday. “With these bold reforms, we will ensure New Yorkers know their leaders work for them and are focused on serving the people of this state.”

The term limits will apply to the state’s governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general and comptroller. She will also propose a ban on outside income for statewide elected officials while serving in office.

But do the term limits apply to state legislators? That's what really matters there.

i'd like to see it apply to all judges, all elected officials, across the entire United States but it's not likely, is it?

Especially the supreme court justices. I can't see why they have to be there for 30 or more years.

No, because states are a thing.

A mandatory retirement age for all federal officials would make sense.
