From my experience working with the legislature, term limits are the worst thing that has ever happened to Helena. Now we have new batch of legislators that don't know how to comprimise or be statesmen. All the knowledge base is gone and the lobbyists have more power than ever. The lobbyists are the only ones that have any instituional history or that are experts on the critical topics. The corruption we see on a national level was as big of problem in Helena, because it only costs a few thousand dollars to run a race. With term limits we managed to find a way to put the power in the hands of lobbyists.
