California Measures
Once again the voters have gone to the ballot box to micro-manage such issues as education spending priorities, government proposals to help the homeless, and whether justice courts should be courts of record. This is a serious breakdown of representative government and signals a lack of political courage in our legislators to deal with these issues.
I have a suggestion. As long as we are doing the job of our legislators, I think their salaries should be cut for every initiative on the ballot that we have to decide.
