LANSING, Mich. (AP) -- Michigan will head into 2011 with at least 29 new senators and 34 new House members, all replacing lawmakers leaving under term limits.

To supporters, this is exactly how term limits should work. Allowing House members to stay only six years and senators eight avoids creating an institution staffed with career politicians.

Many people who have to deal regularly with the Legislature, however, say Michigan's term limits aren't working. They'd like to change the state constitution, though there isn't much voter support for doing so.

A recent Wayne State University study said that under term limits, Michigan lawmakers say they spend less time monitoring state agencies and are more likely to turn to lobbyists as an information source.
