AUSTIN (August 31, 2010)--Democrat Bill White, who’s challenging Republican Gov. Rick Perry, says Texas needs to limit the time someone can serve as governor.
White is trying to unseat Perry, who's seeking an unprecedented third full four-year term.
White says he wants to limit the governorship to two four-year terms.
The former Houston mayor, in a written statement Tuesday, said there should be a voter referendum on the issue.
Perry’s spokesman Mark Miner says the governor disagrees.
Miner said Perry trusts the voters to decide each election whether they want someone to remain in office.
White says Texas needs term limits to avoid the use of power by special interests to entrench a governor in office.
The election is Nov. 2.

Term Limits and Pay Checks should Stop. Make them reenter the working class. Health care should be same as what Veterans have. I'm a Viet Nam Veteran , and the health care I receive is now Not The Same as what the Federal Government Promised. This should be for ALL ELECTED OFFICES. No More Career Politicians!!

We should have had this a long time ago. While we are at it, the same for all elective offices. I am sure our Founding Father, didn't plan for elective offices to be a career.
