Secretary of State Ross Miller has issued challenges to the candidacies of longtime Clark County Commissioner Bruce Woodbury and other elected officials Miller says may not run for re-election this year under Nevada's term limits amendment.
In addition to Woodbury, University Regents Thalia Dondero and Howard Rosenberg, Clark County School Board members Ruth Johnson and Mary Beth Scow, and Humboldt County School Board member Linda Schrempp face challenges.
Miller contends that the officials' 12 years of service under the term limits that took effect in 1996 have expired and they may not seek another term in office.
Others have argued that the "term limits clock" did not begin ticking until after the 1998 election.
