Letter to Editor - No Career Politicians

Dear Sierra Sentinel Editor:

   I just read your survey about how many terms these new candidates would limit themselves to and I have to tell you why I'm in favor of strict two term limits.

   First of all, elected officials are supposed to be public servants, not career politicians. The longer a person is in office the more opportunity to take advantage of the power that is gained and therefore, of corruption.

   I believe that a person who is constantly wanting to get re-elected is not concentrating on the job at hand, and also those who are in office a long time, such as Tryon and Callaway lose sight of what the people want: JOBS. They are both focused on ME, ME, ME. I agree with the  writer who says we should  get rid of the incumbents, too.
