I saw someone yesterday post that they thought there was a limit to
the number of terms Gary Herbert could run. There isn't.
I
have heard some that are voting for Gov. Herbert because he may not run
in 4 years and they can get someone more moderate or more conservative
elected in 2020. That is faulty reasoning.
Robert Gehrke wrote is
this in 2014: "In 1994, a group gathered enough signatures to put an
initiative on the ballot to impose term limits on elected officials. The
Legislature responded by passing legislation, which Leavitt signed into
law, imposing term limits. The ballot measure, made moot by the
legislation, failed that November."
"Then, in 2003, before the
term limits took effect, Bramble sponsored legislation, also signed by
Leavitt, repealing term limits."
