Bruce's Journal

Bruce Slutsky was born in New York City in 1949. I retired six years ago after working as a Science/Engineering Librarian at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark for 25 years. I was married to Karen until she passed away in February 2021. I have a son Lee who is now 35 years old. I am very much interested in the popular music of the 1960s, especially Bob Dylan and the Beatles. I am interested in rock and roll radio. I am an enthusiastic fan of the New York Mets.

There Should Be Term for All Federal and State Offices

I usually don't comment on political issues, but here I go. Elected officials often act in an arrogant manner once they have been in office for a long time. Andrew Cuomo is a perfect example of an elected official being a bully after 10+ years in office. Here are my suggestions:

All New York State executives and legislators are limited to two 4-year terms.
U.S. Representatives be limited to two 4-year terms with their elections held when there is no presidential election.
U.S, Senators be limited to two 6-year terms
Supreme Court judges are limited to one 10-year term.

It is possible that changes will happen at the state level. However, it will take an amendment to the U.S. Consitution for anything to change at the federal level. I doubt if 75% of the states would approve this.
