What Florida political office is the most undermined by terms limits? It just might be the agriculture and consumer services commissioner. Since December 31, 1888 when L.B. Wombwell took office only nine other people served in the position. Granted, this includes the long tenures of Nathan Mayo who was in the office for more than 36 years and Doyle Conner who served 30 years. But only ten people have held the office in almost 125 years which is the same figure as the papacy. Thats compared to 22 U.S. presidents and 30 governors of Florida over the same period.
