Should Detroit vote for Rick Snyder?

[Lowell]

"My biggest concern with Snyder is that he's a political rookie. He'll be at a disadvantage going up against more experienced players [[R or D) in the legislature."

There really aren't experiences players anymore, due to term limits. One third of every new legislature's body are rookies and as soon as they get their feet wet they are gone. Term limits need to be doubled, maybe tripled. The current situation is too unstable.

No matter who wins this structural fault will hamper long term vision.

Agreed on the negative effect our term limit law has on lawmakers' expertise and know-how, but Snyder has NO political experience. Other legislators have several years experience in the state house/senate plus county/local government experience. One thing's for sure, Synder will at best be tied for least-experienced politician in any meeting he's in.
