ROPER: Heads Unions Win, Tails You Lose

When Vermonters vote this November (or, more accurately, when Vermonters vote at some point between September 24th and November 3rd during our ludicrous election-month-and-a-half), we will have to decide whether or not to pass yet another constitutional amendment, this one called Proposition 3, or “The Right to Collectively Bargain.” Just going to say up front, … Read more

GrokPoll Results Ed Funding Constitutional amend

Not a lot of votes on this one but the overall consensus of those who took the time is that they would “support an effort to get the courts out of the educational funding morass.”

Brave souls, knowing as they do that Constitutional amendments – heck, Constitutions – are not what they once were.
