- Denver7 follows up on questions about term limits for efforts to expand number of DougCo Commissioners
A citizen-led initiative in Douglas County, Colorado, seeks to expand the number of County Commissioners from three to five, with a debate over whether the change would affect term limits. Current County Commissioner George Teal argues the proposal could allow commissioners to bypass term limits by alternating between district and at-large roles, while organizer Angela Thomas contends term limits apply to the position itself. Legal precedent from 2000 involving former Attorney General Ken Salazar supports Teal's interpretation.
