Don't let the people decide
Ever notice how the right wing is all for "letting the people decide" when it's some hare-brained idea they support, like the death penalty or discriminating against gays, but are not so interested in the people's opinions about things like ending the Iraq war?
Case in point: Scott Walker, who not only opposes the idea of a new Milwaukee County sales tax, but hates it so much he doesn't even want to let people vote on it.

You are right... he should let the people vote on it. The advisory referendum should also disclose that the county sales tax will need to grow to 2.5% in order to pay for the lavish benefits.
Yup, let them vote. I think we know how that will work out, but the people should be heard - loud and clear.
What ever happened to that statewide referendum on Ethics Reform? Did Gard and Company drop the ball on that one, too?
