THE CHOWAN HERAI.D Page 7-B Letter To The Editor Dear Sir: A constitutional amend ment will be on the ballot in the primary June 29, 1982 which reads as follows: “Constitutional amendment making the terms of the members of the General Assembly four years, beginning with members elected in 1982.” This will be amendment No. 1 on the ballot. I believe a vote for this four-year term is a serious mistake and will work against the best interests of the people. The pr'-wed con stitutional j'.iendment is bad legislation. Admittedly, the men and Women who drafted this amendment are people of integrity and principle who believed this amendment to be worth while when it was in troduced. But, I feel they failed to recognize the long term implications of their .fictions. Foremost, I believe that passage of this amendment would reduce the com munications betwe<‘ i lawmakers an a their c - stituents. It would be a s i down the path towa professional legislators, i. would discourage many potential candidates. Futhermore, since the amendment is on the same ballot as the legisators themselves, the voters must make their selections without knowing whether they are committing to this candidate for a two or a four-year term. In addition, if legislators win “secure” four year term# to l*® 2 - then they’ll be free to f ° r °ther offices - such ao I . Governor, or a Council of State position - in 1984 without having to risk losing their General Assembly seats. And, by being elected in “off-year” elections, the members of the General Assembly would not necessarily share the mandate of the Go .rnor in support of the will of the people. In other words, our legislative branch and our eWCutive branch might be Slipping to different tunes -- to effect, forcing confusion ftnd chaos into *he halls of state governm This amer ent may serve the desues of some politicians, but it certainly has never been mandated by the people of this state. We have heard no public outcry W this amendment. Th? Ohly people wh* seem to Want it are a f’ ’ members of the Gener Assembly, not the vast nr. r,\v ■■■■' fy; population wno C/ »>fe accountability ana responsiveness from their legislators. We don’t need this amendment. We don’t want this amendment. Never theless, we’re being called upon to vote it down. Since 1968, 96 per cent of all constitutional amend ments proposed by our General Assembly have been approved by the people. Without heightened public awareness of the menace posed by this amendment, this amend ment will probably be passed, too. We need to defeat this amendment - to defeat it soundly and decisively - so the members of the General Assembly will get the message that the people of North Carolina are ac customed to good govern ment, and we won’t settle for less. v Two-terms for North Carolina legislators have worked well sine* 1832. Our government is good. Our budget is balanced, our taxes are moderate, and our credit rating! Wl high. We have nothin! w gain by approving fotrf*|fear terms, but we surely Hak a great deal. I’ve heard it before, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” I can’t see a thing we’ll fix by giving our General Assembly members four year terms. We must uraa all voters to vote AGAINST amendment NO. 1 in the primary n Tuesday, June 29, 1982 Tom Gilmore
