Top state politicians favor vote on term limits for governor

December 16, 1999 By admin

In 2002, it’s likely Iowans will be able to decide whether the state’s Governors should be limited to eight years in office. Governor Vilsack supports the two-term limit, and the top Republican in the legislature supports the move, too.House Speaker Brent Siegrist of Council Bluffs says eight years is probably enough.Iowans have shown a willingness to keep a Governor around for more than just eight years. From 1968 to 1998, Iowans had just two men in the Governor’s chair: Robert Ray and Terry Branstad. Both were Republicans. If the legislature endorses the two-term limit in 2000, it must also endorse the term restriction in 2002 before it can be placed on the ballot.
