| Message | We see no reason to remove the traditional nomenclature as outlined in article one. We would support the reduction of the legislative term to 42 months, but not to 36 months. We see no problem with Article 3. OOC: making the legislative term 42 months will allow elections to fall on the same day the week each week, which I personally find much easier to cope with. |
