Regarding the “Voters to decide term limits” article (Loomis News, Oct. 22, 2009):

I would argue that no fire is raging that justifies putting this on the ballots twice.  It does not seem reasonable for the Town of Loomis to use between $3600 and $24,000 to have it appear in a special June election.

I would hope the Town of Loomis would be judicious in it use of community funds and just allow this to appear on the November ballot, for the cost of $40.39. November elections bring out more voters who are focused upon the issues and candidates, which would result in a better view of how the Town’s citizenry feels about the measure. Deciding about term limits is not worth thousands of dollars. 

Did the people signing the initiative to place it on a June ballot understand the cost?  Let’s save the money for a rainy day rather than deplete the Town’s reserves.
