Observing agency heads run circles around elected representatives during hearings, I quickly flipped to oppose term limits.

There are so many obvious, non-controversial good government reforms. Applicable to all levels of govt: federal, state, county, city, districts, boards, etc.

  living wages
  full staff
  public financing of campaigns
  proportional representation (assemblies) & approval voting (executive positions)
  lengthen the legislative calendar, maybe even open ended
  default to public disclosure, eg data.gov for all
I could go on and on. So could everyone else with even a little bit of policy experience.
