Political process
Jan. 29th, 2008 08:10 pmSo I have ranted in this space before about the California proposition system and how much I hate it.
We have had some ridiculous things come across the ballot before, but this one takes the cake: Proposition 91. It's a constitutional amendment that would require taxes relating to cars and gasoline to be used for transportation projects; I have issues with set-asides in general, but that's not what has me boggled this time.
Take a close look at the arguments for and against the proposition.
...
The official argument in favor of the proposition? Is a plea to vote no.
No argument against the proposition was submitted.
I'm tempted to vote for it, just to be perverse. Even though I have a feeling that my protest vote would not be taken in the spirit it was intended.
