Better Terms

Marvin Cossey of Sharp County wants the voters of Arkansas's approval to amend the Constitution and lengthen the terms of county officials from two years to four years. The Attorney General recently certified the amendments' popular name and title. Now it is up to Cossey and his supporters to garner 78,000 voter signatures and gain access to the 2008 ballot. I have no idea of Mr. Cossey's ultimate intentions, but I think this would be a step forward in improving the efficiency of County government and obviously saving money on election costs. At this time, I am supportive of this measure. How about you?
