On May 26, 2022, The Board of Directors of the Saginaw County Chamber of Commerce voted to support the Term Limits for State Legislators and Financial Disclosure Ballot Proposal.
This will shorten the total length of time that a State Legislator can serve; it will now be 12 years total, down from the current 14 year total; however, it will allow all 12 years to be served in one chamber of the legislature or the other. We believe that this will lend more stability to both chambers in terms of experience.
We are also supportive of the financial disclosure aspect of the proposal. Michigan has been the state with the least amount of transparency in financial disclosure and, if passed, will give the public a better level of open reporting on where money comes from.
