West Virginia Treasurer Larry Pack is proposing legislation for term limits for elected state office holders to prevent individuals from holding onto their positions for too long. If approved by lawmakers, the proposed amendment would limit members of the West Virginia Board of Public Works to three terms or 12 years in office. Pack believes that new energy and ideas are important for the taxpayers to get the best results and that turnover in office is necessary. The term limit change, if approved by voters, would go into effect in 2029 and would apply to officials taking office that year. Pack believes that after a certain amount of time, individuals in office become stale and are less likely to bring new ideas and energy. With many new members on the Board of Public Works, Pack sees potential for new directions and policies in the state. Pack’s proposal aims to bring fresh perspectives to West Virginia and ensure that elected officials are serving the best interests of the taxpayers.
