This reminds me of one election in my town that was just one question: Raise or nor raise the pay of the teachers. Yes or No?
The election was not given a lot of publicity & it was a very poor turn out. I voted no and then drove around town to see polling places set up on High School campuses with lines of teachers waiting to vote themselves a pay raise after school was done for the day. ALL the teachers knew about the election of course!
It passed. Grrrrrr!
Grrr... and I love (good) teachers!
