The majority of those who voted in last week’s non-scientific poll on this site said legislators should not be allowed to hold office for decades at a time because they become too jaded or corrupt.
Of 202 voters, 124, or 61 percent, picked that answer, while 74, or 37 percent, said legislators should be allowed to serve that long because no one should be barred from serving the public. Four voters, or 2 percent, said they don’t know.
