Democracy The Clay Way

Prime Buzz reports that a petition is being circulated to put a measure on the ballot to repeal the current light rail plan that was passed last March. First I have to say I disagree with repealing the measure in this manner. Especially when I hear the petition is being promoted by the likes of Jim Nutter. But just because I disagree with it doesn't mean I support quashing it with legal maneuvers or legislative chicanery. It has always been my fervent belief that the voters should be allowed to express their opinion at the polls. I would never support any attempts to hide, delay, alter or in any way mess with a ballot proposition. Sometimes it sucks when democracy doesn't work in the way you would like it. It's a big bad world out there. Deal with it. Dave Helling also reports that the man of clay (I won't mention the megalomaniac's name because I'm convinced he does nightly internet searches on himself) is "arguing that voters cannot repeal what they passed a year ago." "We'll be in court at the speed of light" he is quoted as saying. What kind of whacked out civics class did the man of clay take in grade school? The voters can't repeal their own measure?! Was I out sick the day they taught "Democracy when it suits you?" So whom will TMOC sue? Every person that signed the current repeal petition? Every voter that votes in the affirmative? Jim Nutter? (That I would actually like to see)
