Really.  Vote-by-mail had great potential, but it just hasn't worked out.  Voters said "no" to light rail extensions - twice.  So smarter folks had to get in there and roll up their sleeves and find ways to get the extensions built.  They had to do this because voters are really stupid.  In effect, they were just saving us from ourselves.  You've got to thank the good Lord that the politicians were there to keep us from screwing things up.  We have so much to be thankful for, as our leaders have brought us fixed rail in the form of more trains and streetcars.  They've brought us The Tram!

And now, theyre going to save us from the living hell of Ballot Measure 37.  Around one million of us voted for it - again.  But we're too stupid to see the ramifications.  We didn't know what we were doing.  Thankfully, riding in on a white stallion, Democrat state Sen. Floyd Prozanski's planning to save us all from our collective idiocy.

He's going to lead the charge to help "sort out what voters intended".  It shouldn't be all that hard.

What we intended, Floyd, was to regain our property rights.  What we intended, Floyd, was for you and your bureaucrats to leave us alone.  We're better stewards of our property than government can ever be.  We have twice said that we demand the right to determine our own destiny - and to determine the best use for properties that we own.

Appointed clerics attempted once to deny us our basic rights.  And we came back.  Decisively.

If you really want to try to deny our rights again, then by all means, bring it on.  We're ready and willing to hit back.  Hard.
