California: City term limits campaign begins
A citizens’ committee on Wednesday will formally begin an attempt to place on a 2012 ballot a measure that would establish term limits on members of the Poway City Council and would prohibit appointed incumbents from seeking full terms. Laura Van Tyne on Tuesday said she will meet with City Clerk Linda Troyan Wednesday afternoon and file with her a notice of intent to circulate petitions in the city to place the matter on an upcoming ballot. Approximately 2,800 signatures of registered voters will be needed to qualify the measure for the ballot. The total represents 10 percent of the city’s registered voters.
