Two women came by with 14 referendums that they wanted signatures for. I've never seen a larger load of crap, much of it wanted by the Governer, in my life. "Act to Protect Children": Increase teacher probation period from 2 years to 5 years. "Fiscal responsibility act": If the budget is not passed, the governor can just cut spending as he wishes. "Union Watchdog Law" Unions have to have inform all members of exact spending and seek their approval for every political ad. "Redistricting": Have the gerrymandering done by retired judges appointed by the governor.

The women obviously didn't know the referendums and had no emotional commitment to any of them; I think they were collecting for money.

BE CAREFUL and read these things. Oh, there was a great Lemon Law in there as part of the lead off--but why do we need more laws about cars? And I'm sure that the four pages of small print had a few surprises in them.

Although, I have to say that I support the gerrymandering bill -- it's at least a change from what we know doesn't work.

But money and corruption will find their way in. They always do.
