Talk Of Term Limits...

The San Diego Libertarian Party, critical of the county's handling of
its pension crisis, threw its support firmly behind a proposal to
limit county supervisors' service to two terms. The action came during
its annual convention here last weekend.

Language for such a proposition, earmarked for the November ballot,
already has been submitted to the Registrar of Voters by medical
marijuana proponents. They're striking back at San Diego supervisors
for not only refusing to implement a state proposition allowing
medical marijuana use, but for filing a court action to overturn the
measure.

Rob Kampia, of the Marijuana Policy Project in Washington, D.C., says
the wording of the group's proposal, which calls for a maximum of two
consecutive four-year terms, is expected to be cleared today and
signature-gathering will begin next week. The group has set aside
$150,000 for a paid petition drive. They intend to collect about
110,000 signatures to ensure they have the required 66,121 valid names.
