Group proposes 8-year limit for all Mo. offices
Missouri’s statewide officeholders would be limited to two four-year terms under a proposed ballot measure.
Currently, only lawmakers, the governor and state treasurer have term limits. The secretary of state, state auditor, lieutenant governor and attorney general can continue serving for as long as they are elected.
The group pushing term limits is led by Ed Martin, the former chief of staff to Gov. Matt Blunt. Supporters plan to collect signatures for the measure if lawmakers do not put it on the 2010 ballot.
