.......but stipulate that any initiative that will cost money to implement must have research attached into it disclosing to voters how much of OUR tax dollars would go to implementing it.

I think this was proposed as legislation in the past.. I think the legislators like to pass the buck the people so they don't have to make an argument for or against something........... this we can fix without shooting ourselves in the foot..... which is exactly what we are doing if we vote yes on #3.... IMHO

I think I recall something like that coming up. David, I really appreciate your concerns. I agree with them all. I don't know that much about the inner workings of the state legislature to say one way or the other about passing the buck. I do know that I want to see our way of life not being diminished because we have to pay for things that we cannot afford. I'm trying to be fiscally responsible. I just think it's fiscally irresponsible for a group of people to mandate that the government do something without giving all the cost estimates to us.
