Term limits Longtime lawmakers still are trying to figure out how to extend their stay in Jefferson City. A Senate bill moving through the House would limit House or Senate members to 12-year terms, but allow legislators to move back and forth between houses. Or, they could sit out one term and run again. Term limits are a bad idea. But voters approved them, knowing what they were doing.
Legislators ought to stop trying to end run the voters.
