In states where term limits were enacted, some people are having second thoughts. Maine Gov. Angus King will have worked with four House speakers and three Senate presidents by the time he reaches his two-term limit. A former term limits supporter, King now believes Maine voters made a mistake passing retroactive term limits for their legislators in 1993. It's a complicated business, and it takes time to learn the process. That doesn't wash with Paul Jacob, director of Washington-based U.S. Term Limits, which promotes term limits.
Politicians become pretty dangerous when they learn the ropes.
