Dalton unveils campaign and government reform plan

Considering the hoopla Easly & Perdue have received and who knows what in how the state house has swindle money I think it a good idea.

I also like the idea on term limits but I would like to see 6 years so I dont have to listen to campaign ads.
Im not sure if he the longest serving member, but US Representative Howard Coble has been in office since 1985. That is 27 years.

I often (but not exclusively) vote Democratic, but this "reform" plan seems like little more than an attempt to reign in Republican political power in state government. It strikes me as a nothing more than a blatant political ploy disguised as reform.

And while I often vote Democratic, I can't see myself ever voting for a Democratic governor in this state. The state Democratic party is so systemically corrupt and criminal down to its core that it should not be trusted with governing.
