February 5, voters in California will have the chance to accept or reject changes in term limits through Prop. 93. The campaign will be marked by high profile media campaigns and discussion of Nunez and Perata and their records in office.

So the geniuses on the council in Downey decided Feb. 5 would be a good day to try to loosen the term limit provision in the Downey City Charter.

The proponents are free to make their case on why they want longer terms, but why get it caught up in the statewide campaign. Just brilliant.
