State senators on Beacon Hill may do away with a rule that limits the Senate president to an eight-year term in office.
If approved, it would mean current Senate President Karen Spilka could remain in the chamber's top job indefinitely.
Senate Ways and Means Chairman Mike Rodrigues said he's offering an amendment to eliminate the term limit rule. In a statement, Rodrigues said he's presenting the amendment after discussions with state Senate colleagues and Spilka.
