As Philadelphia City Council opened its 2010 session on Thursday, one member's proposal to limit the number of terms that the lawmakers could serve drew immediate criticism from his colleagues.
City councilman Wilson Goode Jr. (in file photo above) probably didn't make many friends in City Council chambers on Thursday by introducing a measure that would limit all councilmembers to three four-year terms.
Philadelphia does limit a mayor to two successive terms, but councilmembers have no term limits.
Goode notes that other cities do impose them:
"Actually, almost all of the major cities within the United States have term limits for the mayor and City Council."
