An Argument Against Term Limits?

Term-limited senators propose more bills than colleagues:

Not everyone is pleased with their proposals.

Perhaps they'd do less damage if we let them stay. Like Ben Franklin, I always sleep a little sounder when the legislature is not in session. Good news: The elephant bill is going nowhere. It could have wiped out the state's elephant-training industry.
