Reynolds letter: Enact term limits

There is a way to stop the kindergarten displays of the adults running our country and state: term limits. I understand the frustration “we the people” are feeling with all our elected officials. They just refuse to listen to us.

What was the tea party movement about? Why has Donald Trump taken off? Because we are all so disappointed with the attitudes we see emanating from every elected official, including those elected to run our state.

If my children or grandchildren acted this way they would be sent to their time out spot to think.

Let’s figure out a way to get term limits in place. We don’t seem to be capable of voting them out.

Diane Reynolds, Kuna
