Measure lets people decide terms of state officials
(2008-03-14)
(KOSU) - The Oklahoma Senate has voted to let voters decide whether to limit the terms of state elected officials.
The governor is the only statewide elected official now limited to two four-year terms.
Sen. Randy Brogdon, R-Owasso, wants to extend that limitation to other offices such as the lieutenant governor, attorney general, auditor and inspector, treasurer, insurance commissioner and labor
commissioner.
Those posts are now held by Democrats and only two of the Senate's 24 Democrats voted for the amendment, which calls for a
November election.
Brogdon said term limits bring new ideas to state government.
