Westly May Weigh in for Prop 93 Term Limit Reform

Former Controller and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Steve Westly may be lending his support to the Yes on 93 Term Limits Reform campaign. According to the Timm Herdt of the Ventura County Star's "95 Percent Accurate" political blog:

"an announcement could be coming soon of his support for the term-limits initiative on the Feb. 5 ballot. The campaign, he said, is putting together a coalition of supporters who do not currently hold elected office. Westly said he was around Sacramento long enough during his one term as controller to understand the importance of having legislators with some experience."

The move is somewhat of a surprise. The chief proponent of the measure, Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez, supported Westly rival Phil Angelides in the 2006 Democratic gubernatorial primary. Nunez also is on the opposite of him again in the presidential race (Nunez is a top cheerleader for Sen. Hillary Clinton while Westly is a leader in Sen. Barack Obama's California campaign).
