An idea whose time hasn't come

A proposed constitutional amendment by State Rep. Marlin Schneider, D-Wisconsin Rapids, will go to the Assembly floor after a 3-3 committee vote. If approved by the legislature twice and then by the voters, it would extend State Senate terms from 4 years to 6, and State Assembly terms from 2 to 4.

State Rep. Steve Freese, R-Dodgeville, said he supported it because the voters "are tired of the campaigning all the time."

Some people are tired of campaigns. Others are tired of legislators looking out for themselves instead of the people who send them there. And some are just tired of their legislators.

I'd love to run the referendum campaign against this one if it ever gets on the ballot.
