Prop 93 dispute
I added a source to back up how much longer a legislature could serve, settling on the wording "some current members would serve longer." In basic formulation, a member could serve 8 years in the Senate and then, after just being elected to the Assembly (with Prop 93 passed) serve 12 years in the Assembly for a total of 20 years. The new 12 year limit applied to the house the member was currently in. The maximum possible wasn't 8+6+12 because either the 8 or the 6 is 12. So, the limit would be 20 years under term limit law. But, to burst my bubble a little, some members, like Tom McClintock, served before term limits law passed previously, meaning he could serve up to 26 years. This last fact from the Chronicle article I cited. In short, it makes the most since just to say "some current members would serve longer."User:calbear22 (talk) 09:26, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Interesting sentiment-how do the two link, in your view? I am intrigued, and you don't have mail turned on. Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 13:17, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Eloquent and insightful, thank you! Living in Japan, one does hear a lot from the Chinese, and growing up in Colorado, we heard it from Texas... Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 20:47, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
