The question of term limits is a good one and one the American people should focus more attention on. PegNVa raised the issue some time back. My response is at #msg-13953212.
I still feel the same way. One term and out, no "legislative" (or administrative) assistants, and some form of support to help them restart their private lives.
I don't think the topic of "legislative assistants gets anywhere near enough attention. I think if you investigate the matter, you'll find the public official is merely the face presented to the public. The real decisions are made by the (unelected) assistants.
