Another item that needs to be injected into the discussion is "Initiative and Referendum" which is one way to enable the people's voice to overrule those who profess to represent them. While the connected hate it, it does force the politically correct and power structures to take notice and to create by the approval process a great deal of discussion on hot items. I have for years believed that the public, given the facts, will sort out the options and come to a logical and thoughtful conclusion. It has worked in the Township form of government for years including the power vested in the body to vote to raise their own taxes for good of the entity. Paul Double
