@Chris that is an interesting question. I probably would have voted to raise it because I always research elections I can vote on before hand. So if I knew it was 2 already, I would have voted yes. If I was misinformed and DIDN'T know it was already limited, I would have voted no
yes you made me wonder if it actually could backfire on them if people are against limits, but I think they're assuming most people are for limits and that's why it's not mentioned that 2 is already the limit

But yeah the mayor is basically at the end of his second term and they added this provision right at deadline to raise term limits for him and the council

With all the information you gave me, I would have voted yes. Because a no vote would have it as 2 terms then

That should not be legal. If they do that, it should only apply to the next people elected

Like in Congress... if they vote themselves a raise, it doesn't come into existence until the next Congress

A nearby provision was worded similarly and got struck down for being misleading so I do think this one might too but I don't really know how consistent the Texas supreme Court is with these things
