[Grovenet] Reflections on Minority Rule

[Allen Warren]

Ron stated 'The argument in favor of the current situation was that it was too easy for
a special interest to get a tax or assessment passed in an special election 
that would never get a majority in a general election when more people were
actually looking at their ballots. 

Those promoting that will point to the 'success' of this defeat as a good
example. Were it not for the rule it would have passed yet it did not
represent the votes of a majority of the registered voters.'

Maybe now we'll find out if any of the warnings about services cut/lost will come true.  If yes, possibly the next request for funds will be noticed by more people.  If not, then either the various service groups will creatively figure out how to do the same with less money or we'll witness the truth was indeed being told.
