UDW Endorsed Candidates for June 5^th Primary

UDW/AFSCME Local 3930 has announced the following endorsements for the June 5^th Primary Election:

YES ON PROPOSITION 28
“Limits on Legislators’ Terms in Office”

Prop. 28 closes the “17-year-loophole” and reduces the total amount of time a person may serve in the state Legislature to 12 years – with no exceptions. A person may serve that time either in the Assembly, the Senate, or a combination of both.

Prop. 28 does exactly what is says it will do, limit time spent in the Legislature. There are no gimmicks, no hidden agendas and no exceptions.

• Ends the electoral merry-go-round
• Helps make Legislators more accountable
• Closes 17-year loophole, limits Legislators to 12 years
• Excludes legislators in office now, creating a Fresh
  Start in 2012
