(Mar. 30, 2012) -- I see and hear lots of things as a freelance photojournalist, but it got my attention when the 4th district Council incumbent told the audience at a recent Stearns Park Neighborhood Ass'n candidate forum that Long Beach doesn't have a term limits law; he called it a restriction on access to the ballot that lets two-termed incumbents -- like him -- seek a third term by write in. That's true, but in my opinion, there are many sound reasons for not letting incumbents become a perennial fixture and honoring the term limits principle that Long Beach voters intended. They include:
With Long Beach City Hall's budget in crisis and programs/services falling victim, I think we need a new set of eyes and ideas to save the day and it's time to move on to a change of Council person for the 4th District. I think Daryl Supernaw is the ideal candidate. He has a proven track record of community activism and business acumen. He's committed to a fiscally-responsible budget, which is essential not only to District 4’s well being but to the entire City as well, and his honesty and integrity hail to a time when a person’s handshake was as good as gold. The City's budget crisis grew because of past fiscal irresponsibility and the City's programs and services are now at extreme risk. I think this election shows exactly why term limits were the right thing to do and remain a good idea, but it's ultimately up to voters to remind City Hall of that...and I hope they do so by electing Daryl Supernaw.
