In 2020 voters in Warren chose to limit the number of years elected officials could serve in office to no more than 3 terms. Despite that, Mayor Jim Fouts has filed to run for re-election anyway.

Proposal 1 presented two topics as a combined deal for Michigan voters: rules requiring financial disclosure for lawmakers and easing term limits.

With time ticking down until election day, we are taking in-depth looks on what you’ll be voting on from candidates to ballot proposals.

Proposal One is one of the three constitutional amendments that Michiganders will see on the November ballot. The Ann Arbor Ypsilanti Chamber of Commerce hosted an event to explore both sides of the debate. WEMU’s Josh Hakala reports.

Prop 1 aims to expose conflicts of interest and slow "revolving door" in Lansing, allowing legislators to spend more time in one chamber.

A petition to change term limits and require financial disclosures for Michigan state lawmakers could start signature gathering next week.

The ballot proposal would replace the current legislative term limits — six years in the House and eight years in the Senate — with a 12-year overall cap in the Legislature. Whether that strengthens or weakens term limits is a matter of perspective.
