Is this Tuesday's election evidence that term limits work? On the next Your Call, talk about the profound effects that state and local term limits are having on the political landscape of the Bay Area this year. There are open city council races in Oakland and San Francisco; contested Democratic primaries between incumbents and a termed out politician looking to move up. Is your judgment of term limits confirmed by what you are seeing this year? And if your opinion is changing, which way are you shifting? On the next Your Call with me, Ben Temchine and you.
