From Poway Councilmember Dave Grosch…
Dear Poway voters,
One of the first things I did when I was elected last year was to propose term limits for Poway City Council Members. I proposed them because I strongly believe they would encourage more residents with fresh ideas to run for office. Too often, potential candidates are discouraged at the prospect of facing the “incumbent advantage”. Not surprisingly, my proposal was quickly rejected by other council members unwilling to put restrictions on their own positions.
Because the Council dismissed my proposal, and because I believe strongly in term limits I am working to put an initiative on the ballot so YOU can decide if the mild limits I have proposed should become law in Poway. But your signature is needed NOW to qualify the initiative for the November 2012 ballot.
Your signature on the petition is not a vote for or against term limits – your signature simply means you believe Poway voters, not elected officials, should decide the issue.
To sign the petition, visit the Farmer’s Market (at Old Poway Park) on Saturday mornings, email me, or call me and we will get a petition to you.

Your Councilmember,
Dave Grosch
