Technosailor: Absentee Ballot Record

    Your elections are mighty complicated in the US...

    Heh. One could argue that the strength is in the complexity. It's not just a prty-line vote. It values the individual politician and his/her strengths as each has to run - there's not simply "a party in power".

    I'm voting yes on Question 1. I would love to take that control away from the local government -- they shouldn't be able to sell or otherwise dispose of parkland without there being serious consideration...which I don't trust the Board of Public Works to give.

    BPW is not local government. It's State and is comprised of the Governor, the Comptroller and the State Treasurer. Funny thing about Question 1 and what powers the BPW has is that it has no power except that delegated by the Constitution or the Legislature - which begs the question - Why do we need a Constitutional amendment when the Legislature could simply pass a law limiting the BPW powers in that area. I'm not a fan of creating law (or in this situation, Constitutional amendments) for the sake of it.
