Legislators Hello, this is Gov. Mike Huckabee with this week's comment from my corner of the Capitol. For some legislators, this is their last session because of the term limits the people of Arkansas have endorsed. For other legislators, the current session marks the beginning of their public service and an opportunity to make good first impressions.
Term limits have benefits and costs.
The greatest benefit is that term limits ensure the state Capitol will be infused with new ideas every two years. And I'm hearing a lot of good ideas in this session. Our legislators realize we're faced with clear choices. We can choose statesmanship or gamesmanship. We can focus on the next election or the next generation.
