In yet another humilating defeat, the US Term Limits backed Yes on Term Limits, Inc. was told in effect that out-of-state henchmen couldn't do New York City resident Howie Rich's bidding and impose term limits on a few statewide constitutional officers.
 
Even after suffering the same fate in Montana a few years earlier, out-of-state idealogues once again attempted to break state election laws to advance their cause.
 
While term limits groups feign grassroots-style activism, if you follow the money trail it inevitably always leads back to the same small group of people and one person in particular, Howard Rich.
 
Howie is one of the lucky few that makes gushers of money off of Manhattan real estate so he can impose his views on direct democracy states, plus has an entire web site devoted to outing his devious political money-schemes.
