LACKING INITIATIVE
We are the 'proposition' state.
We get props to vote on no matter what else is going on.
This year is no exception.
There are four big ones that would seal a deal the gov made with the gambling tribes.
Sorry, I will not call it 'gaming'.
No PR brush will whiten that dirty racket.
Of course, I will vote NO for all four.
We are also being asked to endorse a new term limits plan which is actually pretty good. Our present law is very restrictive and cuts people off mid-learning curve. I will probably vote YES. It is not doing well in the polls though.
There is a gas tax distribution initiative which even its backers now disavow. NO.
And finally a local bond funding, money distribution formality for local schools. YES.
But that is it.
Not a lot more out here this year.
We can save all the juice up for the big one.
No not that big one. We are still waiting for the shake.
I mean Super Tuesday. The first step towards the new Democratic administration.
Of course we could get both the same day.
