Stanley seems to be just a guy who has looked at states who have introduced term limits v those who haven't and come up his opinion as stated there ..
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=143452332 .. my link again.

I don't see anything in there suggesting he based his opinion on answers he got solely from lobbyists, as you suggest in your

"Don't know who stanley is, but asking the very group- lobbyists, about what their idea of term limits are is not very conductive."

As for the quote you used

"Quote:In fact, the backgrounds of state legislators elected after term limits were imposed closely resemble the backgrounds of those elected before such restrictions. They typically have previous political experience and are more educated and affluent than the voters who selected them. And while term limits have changed the way lobbyists do their business, they have actually increased their influence. The legislators elected after term limits were imposed often lack knowledge of the details of many complex policies and turn to lobbyists for information. These special interest groups actually report that they now work harder “educating” less knowledgeable legislators."

that, as well as suggesting term limits increase lobbyist influence, it seems to support the anti-term limit
debating point as to the value of experience gained by people who serve more than one or two terms.

To your initial point above again Stanley likely, guessing, got his seemingly factual info there from talking to both politicians and lobbyists.
