I'm completely with you on this argument. It's a waste of tax dollars as far as I can see, and having it on the ballot over and over would seem to me to indicate, as you pointed out, special interest groups' [hospitality, you said] control of the situation. Not representative of the people, just the people with their hands in the right pockets, eh?
Exactly. It is akin to the dems not liking the results on the 2000 election and calling a "do over" - twice.

You are not hearing the complete story. The Sunday sales innititive in the past was put on a special election ballot. It is a lot easier to get out the one issue voters for an effort like this. This is the same reason the local school boards are putting a special pourpose sales tax on a special election vote, at an additional cost of $30k, rather than waiting for the general election where the additional cost would be almost nothing. This time it will be put on the general election ballot. I have a feeling it will pass this time.
