Question: (Submitted by reader Debra Mangano) With the City Council considering a repeal of term limits for its members, should there be term limits for ALL politicians?

Some politicians, the longer they're in, the more comfortable they get. We can't allow them to get comfortable. They need to hurry up and get out and give somebody else a chance."
