Amendment 41 is a big mistake. I didn't vote for it, so I am taking none of the blame. The blame goes squarely to the candidates and office holders who were afraid to speak out about how flawed it was. That includes Republicans and Democrats.
Now there is a proposal in the legislature to blame the voters and to try to take away our initiative rights by requiring a 60% majority to pass an amendment.
I think that legislators who vote for this approach and who were silent about 41 run a real risk of facing a recall election. Safe seats might not be quite as safe as legislators think.
Enough said?
