"Scholars, practioners, journalists and voters who read this
important contribution to the study of state legislative term
limits will have a better understanding the consequences in
Michigan, California and around the country. The book examines pre
and post term limits data to identify effects in the political
environment, personal characteristics of legislators, and governing
institutions. While focusing on Michigan, comparisons with
California provide additional support for the findings regarding
composition, competition, and action."
--Rick Farmer, University of Akron
"Term limits is one of the most hotly-debated topics in state
politics today, and this book provides unexpected findings and new
insights that will make compelling reading for scholars,
practitioners, and anyone who cares about democracy and
policymaking. This carefully-constructed, rigorous study provides
an in-depth, detailed picture of the state legislature in electoral
politics and governance over time, before and after term limits.
The portrait is a troubling one that largely contradicts the aims
of term limit reforms - weakening electoral competition, lessening
democratic responsiveness, and strengthening the role of lobbyists
in policymaking. Beyond the considerable contribution that this
study makes to academic research on the topic, its lucid style and
concrete policy recommendations should enhance its appeal to the
broad audience it deserves."
--Karen Mossberger, Kent State University
