I hope everyone understands the lesson of the current I-976 response from Seattle, King County, and others: We voters are too stupid to issue such a mandate as I-976 to our state and local Governments.
We are to accept any and all taxes and tax increases as dictated by those governments and bureaus.
We are not to be concerned that any such taxes and funding chains will be going to bureaus with no elected official positions who have no motivations to be honest with voters or to perform designated tasks in a timely, efficient or fiscally appropriate manner. And we are to never question the performance of those officers and offices.
We are to never question when funds are deviated from one department to another without warning, explanation, or publication.
If we do any of this we will be entitled to pay for legal challenges and the defenses from competing government offices with no accountability to us voters.
And we are expected to return to office all of the representatives who support those activities and the related limitations on voters.
Remember the people in office now who have performed these activities and insults to those of us who are their constituents. If you make no attempt to promote better representation and vote for better representatives be ready to continue to be treated with this total disdain.
