Sounds like states are getting fed up!

I for one am glad to hear this. While this may be driven by local officials because of political pressures, at least its a step in a direction. Im so tired of the stupid ass games played in DC.

I mean the min wage increased tied to the estate tax crap was just unbelievable.

One thing I'd love to get rid of is the electoral votes. It's outdated and there's no reason for it to exist anymore. I have a problem when someone who gets the majority of votes doesn't win.

Does not compute.

Our tax system is screwed up. We should be paying the most to local, then state, then national. But it's the opposite.

Then I'd fear that we get some uber-conservative party long before we get an extremely liberal one.
