The measure would let state lawmakers serve a total of 12 years between the House and Senate, and require them to submit annual financial disclosure reports.

A Michigan board approved ballot language today for a proposed constitutional amendment.

The measure would let state lawmakers serve a total of 12 years between the House and Senate, and require them to submit annual financial disclosure reports.

Opponents, like Keith Allard, argue that financial disclosure piece is only there to get the term limits change through.

"We're going to tell people this doubles the amount of time that people serve in the House of Representatives. That's it. that's all it takes and people are furious about that."

But “Voters for Term Limits and Transparency” spokesperson Josh Pugh is dismissing critics.

“It’s no surprise voters are going to continue to hear them say a lot of different things. But they’ll have their chance in 81 days to have their voices heard at the ballot box and we’re really looking forward to that.”
