Term limit extension misses ballot

A measure increasing the number of terms Broomfield’s top prosecutor can serve will be on the ballot this November, but Broomfield voters will never see it. The Adams County Board of Commissioners on Wednesday voted 2-1 to ask Adams County residents to allow all of the county’s elected officials, including the district attorney, to serve three terms. Currently they can only serve two terms. What Adams County voters decide doesn’t effect Broomfield, except for the fact the two counties are part of the 17th Judicial District.
