Vincent Orange wants term limits, job limits, more money for council

At-Large D.C. Councilman Vincent Orange Sr. unveiled some heavy-hitting bills Monday afternoon bound to generate some real pushback from his colleagues. And before you read on, you should know this: Orange is up for re-election in April.

Here’s the summary:

1) Term limits: Orange plans to submit a bill that would impose a limit of two consecutive four-year terms for council members. The limits would not be retroactive, meaning everyone on council now could run two more times for their seat. A council member could then run for council chair, mayor or step down for a term and run for their old seat after four years (riiiiiight).
