Calling for term limits for Upstate County Council chairman

GREENVILLE, S.C. (AP) - A member of a county governing council in South Carolina is calling for term limits for the council's chairman. The Post and Courier reports that outgoing Greenville County Council member Rick Roberts was introducing the proposal Tuesday. Roberts lost a Republican primary election in June. His proposed change would limit the council chairman to two consecutive terms in the post. If approved, it would prevent Chairman Butch Kirven from running for chairman if he is reelected to the council in November.
