Dumb legislation is dumb whether or not it's passed by the legislature or at the ballot box. The CA Lege voted for electric utility deregulation (which resulted in 100's of billions of cumulative economic damage to the state) unanimously. Clearly we just need a benevolent dictator because lawmaking by state legislators is a terrible idea.
IтАЩm glad MN doesnтАЩt have a ballot initiative process. Red states need them bc GOP legislators donтАЩt do basic stuff for their citizens. But, it is extremely unnecessary for blue states to have them bc intelligent people who follow facts and science are in charge. ThereтАЩs a reason why I donтАЩt send my neighbors to the Capitol to debate legislation. Instead, I send Fue and Bobby Joe to get the shit done for us.
Another reason why policy making by initiative is a terrible idea
