Alan says: I am in favor of limiting the governor to two consecutive terms. But blacklisting someone after eight years altogether, regardless of how good or bad they did their job, can needlessly force an effective public official out of public service. Many state governors throughout history have served well over eight years without their constituents regretting it. I would point out that such a system is wholly unworkable in twenty-first century America: we live in the era of the permanent campaign and the 24-hour news cycle. A governor facing re-election every other year would essentially do nothing but fundraise (which is close to what most do anyway even with four-year terms). (November 19th, 2009 at 11:09pm)
Scott Dadich
Scott Dadich joined the staff of TEXAS MONTHLY as associate art director in 2000, and was promoted to art director the next year. He was named creative director in 2004. He was previously the art director of the Texas Tech University Office of News & Publications, in Lubbock. He holds a bachelor’s degree in fine arts from Texas Tech University with emphases in design communications and photography.
Dadich has received over 30 national design awards from groups such as the Society of Publication Designers (SPD), the Art Director’s Club (ADC), and the City and Regional Magazine Association (CRMA). His work has also been showcased in Communication Arts and Print each of the past five years. He is a regular speaker at the University of Texas in Austin, Texas Tech University, Baylor University and the University of Mississippi in Oxford, and has served as a judge for the National Magazine Awards, the SPD Awards, and the Communication Arts 2005 Photography Annual.
Photo District News described Dadich as a visionary “who led the way in photography” in 2003 when it named him a PDN Player. The following year, the New York Times published his critique of the Bush and Kerry campaigns’ use of graphic design. In 2005, the City and Regional Magazine Association named Dadich “Designer of the Year,” and Print named him one of the “20 Under 30” breakthrough visual talents in the world.
