> The people moving from California are looking for lower taxes

Maybe some of them are. I'd guess most of them are primarily looking for lower real estate prices and shorter commutes.

I know that I'm looking for:
1. More frequent face-to-face with grandkids.
2. Ability to work and live in the same area. Shorter commutes are better commutes.
3. Lower real estate prices.

Tax rates are not even on my radar, as everything you get from state and local government will have to be paid for somehow. In some states, it is income tax, in others, it is property tax. Still others have a flourishing industry that can be taxed instead of burdening the citizenry.

As for term limits, I cannot speak to #Michigan's limits, as I don't live there; but #California's limits are beneficial. After a few terms in Sacramento, #pollies become evilized and accustomed to that power and lifestyle. At that point, they stop representing the needs of their constituents and serve only their party and the lobbyists. (In California, they are "legislative advocates", as the state constitution forbids lobbyists.)

I understand that @ahuka believes that people get better at being legislators after a few years on the job. That is likely true. But a few more years and they don't improve. They may know the system better, but they don't use that knowledge to make the state better serve its people, and that is why term limits exist.
