Governor King says term limits for elected officials have been a disaster. Do you agree?

I’ve always thought term limits are a good thing in theory, but a lot of people can’t get what they need done in their term.

Darrick Brown, Benton

I go back and forth because if it’s a good politician, there shouldn’t be – and if they’re incompetent, there should be.

Amy Kessley, Bangor

I’m not sure what the answer is. It’s more a question of character than a question of limits.

Harry Cunningham, Orono

I think if they do a good job they should be able to stay.

Mary Padgett, Milford

It’s very difficult to trust anything Governor King says or does.

Chris Lavin, Corinth

I agree. I think the way to get people out of office is in your right to vote.

Barbara Mintz, Holden

To continue in office, someone should just have a larger majority vote because that shows the support of the public

Scott Bourgoin, Orono

I think term limits are probably an OK thing. I think it’s good to get new blood in every once in a while, otherwise people get stuck in old ideas.

Sandi Magill, Corinth
