    The field for the next Governor of Michigan is rather pathetic. Andy the phony kicked off his campaign with a squeak. Pete Hoekstra seems tepid on the task. Snyder is mostly razzle-dazzle. We do need a leader that will make painful decisions in favor of the taxpayers and revenue generators of this state. It's unfortunate that politicians of little character fail to keep campaign promises and coupled with the generational apathy in the voting bloc, term limits are an easy "automated" check to a balance. When and if ever the voters of this state become informed and involved on a daily basis, the need for term limits will be superseded by the want of the individual to have "hands on" control of elections. I don't see that happening anytime in the near or distant future when you look at numbers of voter turn outs and contestants in primaries. Sure, gadflies like Skubick can spew all they want, but he makes his living on relationships with politicians and bureaucrats that grow ever stronger as time passes. Not the preferred method, but for now, term limits work, and for the better.
