	NCSLNet - Legislatures Election Redistricting: Bates v Jones - Term Limits
		Bates may run for other offices, including the State Senate, but he would prefer to serve in the Assembly because he is already familiar with his assembly district and with the workings of the Assembly itself.
		Bates testified that term limits are detrimental to the ability of legislators to represent their constituents effectively.
		Finally, according to Bates, experienced legislators who are likely to remain in the legislature for a significant period of time carry greater clout in their dealings with administrative agencies because the administrators realize they will probably have to continue dealing with those legislators in the future.

	The Daily Californian
		Daily Cal editor in chief Rong-Gong Lin, II said he would rather have seen Bates charged with a misdemeanor for a "very serious crime." But he said the fact that Bates was charged for stealing free newspapers was important, because past thefts of Daily Cals have not resulted in prosecution.
		Bates said there needs to be clarification about whether stealing free newspapers is a crime, which would be emphasized with this legislation.
		While Lin concedes that Bates' hopes of passing laws on the local and state levels that make stealing free newspapers illegal is a "step in the right direction," he said Bates has still lost much of his credibility.

	The Daily Californian

		Bates clearly does not deserve the office he holds or the trust of the citizens of Berkeley.

		Bates faces possible criminal prosecution after taking responsibility last week for the theft of Daily Californian newspapers from their racks on Sproul Plaza at UC Berkeley, birthplace of the Free Speech Movement.
		Others in town came to Bates' defense, saying the condemnations amount to overkill for a spur-of-the-moment act that was uncharacteristic of Bates' long career of public service, including 20 years as a popular, liberal state assemblyman from Berkeley.

	Brimstone and Treacle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For a couple of years, Tom and Amy Bates have been struggling to cope with their transformed lives, with their daughter Pattie (or Patricia) strapped down to the living-room sofa, unable to wash or eat by herself or talk, merely utter unintelligible sounds.
		Bates is a very unselfish and humanitarian one: He wants to be at Pattie's side despite the changed circumstances; he wants to care for her for an unspecified period of time and, by doing so, give the Bateses a break.
		It is Amy Bates in particular who jumps at the suggestion, she who has not had an hour off since Pattie's accident and who is stranded in the house without a chance even to go to the hairdresser's or do some window-shopping.
