AP: Term limits challenge going to Supreme Court

LAS VEGAS-Nevada Attorney General Catherine Cortez-Masto has submitted a petition to the state Supreme Court, asking for clarification of the state's term limits laws, according to the Associated Press.

The term limits law, passed in 1996, limits legislators and other officials to twelve years of service.  Controversy has arisen because some officials, like Clark County Commissioner Bruce Woodbury, believe that term limits only went into effect beginning with the next election in 1998.  Woodbury has served on the Clark County Commission since 1981.

Secretary of State Ross Miller challenged the candidacies of Woodbury and some 20 others candidates last month, but district attorneys in Clark, Washoe and Churchill Counties declined to remove the names, arguing that Miller had not provided sufficient cause.
