Term limits needed

Richard Atwell and Fred Haynes have done a good job of moving issues forward

Serving on council is very demanding and the present members do work hard for our community.   I agree with David Ferguson’s comments in his Nov. 25 letter to the editor about Richard Atwell as a mayor for the people.

Similarly, Fred Haynes has been instrumental in moving some issues forward.  Perhaps the position of mayor and council members should be limited to serve only two terms, or eight years in office.  This could help to ensure that a fresh look at long-term issues and new ideas happens, which would be good for the future of our municipality.
