Impact of term limits on Nunez
With the term limits established by 1990's Proposition 140 in place, Nunez will be term-limited out of office and out of his leadership position in 2008 unless California voters approve Proposition 93 on February 5, 2008.
Along with California State Senate President Don Perata, Núñez is one of the major backers of Prop. 93.[1]
Nunez comes under scrutiny
As the battle over term limits heats up, Nunez has coming under scrutiny, with the Los Angeles Times reporting in October 2007 that Núñez had spent tens of thousands of dollars of campaign money personal expenses, such as $1800 for a meal at a Parisian restaurant and $5000 for wine from Bordeaux.[2]
Redistricting and term limits
California newspapers have reported that when Nunez and Perata began their promotion of Prop. 93, they promised to simultaneously pass a measure that would change the way that legislative districts are re-drawn after the 2010 decennial census. However, once Prop. 93 was on the ballot, they dropped their advocacy of redistricting reform.[3]
