The campaign to limit people's ability to reelect the leaders of their choice has been entirely bankrolled by the head of the right wing propaganda network Sinclair Broadcasting

I love the way that u put this. In my mind, term limits is a play to be able to have a “buyable” politician who isn’t working for the people in office as often as possible

It's more than that. If this passes, most current elected positions will be up at the 8 year mark. They aren't just looking to buy politicians, they get a chance to buy a set of politicians.

Just voted against initiative K without knowing any of the background to who funded it. It was the only initiative I voted against. I’ve always felt like term limits are Trumpy, and by that I mean populist BS.

Maybe they care about their city and putting policies in place that will eventually lead to attracting businesses and taxpayers. Getting rid of the entirely corrupt leadership sounds like a great start.

Voting is the way to do that, not term limits. Few people vote in Baltimore, so it's easier than average to do.
