Letter to the editor: We have too much 'representation'

If the president, the most important position in the country, can only serve two four-year terms, why should senators, representatives and judges be allowed to serve more? A rogue judge who gets elected to a 10-year term can cause a lot of damage in his decade in office.

I believe Pennsylvania has more state legislators than any state except California. We have too much “representation.”

There is a way to reduce the size of the Legislature without the incumbents complaining: When one retires or dies, simply don’t replace him. Should a mandatory retirement age be considered?

In my humble opinion, these ideas make too much sense to be considered, although they should be, by our backward state.
