Marietta voters have given their stamp of approval to term limits for the mayor and city council, based on Tuesday’s election results.
More than 80 percent voted ‘yes’ on a non-binding referendum to impose term limits, paving the way for the city to request a new rule from the Cobb legislative delegation.
“More people have a chance to lead and I think turnover is good in this area,” said Mayor Steve “Thunder” Tumlin.
The new law would limit city elected officials to three four-year terms, Tumlin said.
