(Daily Collegian) (U-WIRE) STATE COLLEGE, Penn. -- Some State College Borough Council members believe eight years (two terms) is plenty of time for council members to reach their goals.

With that logic in mind, council member James Meyer is pushing to approve a proposal that would limit the number of consecutive terms he and his colleagues are allowed to serve to two. If the proposal is approved, council members would have to take two years off after reaching their term limit before being allowed to run again.

Meyer is really on to something here. Why didn't anyone think of this before?

Eight years is a long time. Check out a magazine or newspaper ...
