Anyone up on the three ballot measures which all passed?
The three passed and all seem ripe for abuse. What do you feel was the real aim of these as certainly they were formulated by Republican state operatives:
1. Advise the state legislature to require able-bodied childless adults to look for work in order to receive tax-payer-funded welfare benefits
2. Authorize the state legislature to define serious harm in relation to the conditions a judge imposes on an accused person released before conviction
3. Authorize judges to impose cash bail on an accused person of a violent crime based on circumstances, like the need to protect the community from serious harm and the probability the accused will not appear in court
Also are there any thoughts on the Republican win in the special election giving them impeachment power of elected officials (Governor, Judges, etc.)? Sounds pretty bad and again these bastards keep changing their target to gain the control they crave for their masters.
