Publishers Notes: For what it's worth, Wicomico Council President John Cannon refuses to support term limits in Wicomico County, that's a fact. How else would the good ol' boys remain in control.

Governor Hogan says term limits will cure Annapolis; experience in other states says they won't
Gov. Larry Hogan says instituting term limits for legislators will reduce partisanship, prevent gerrymandering, stifle corruption, increase accountability and return Annapolis to the founders’ vision of democracy. He didn’t specifically mention it, but we suppose it will also lead to fresher breath, whiter whites and peace in the Middle East. Term limits are not a new idea; more than 20 states have adopted them at one point or another, mostly starting in the 1990s. But they have fallen out of favor in recent years for a simple reason: They don’t accomplish any of the things Governor Hogan or other backers of the idea promise, and they come with some unexpected and unwelcome side effects.
