It's been something of a problem (we don't turn out 50% all that often), but it has forced the issues onto the regular election times. Even then almost nothing passes.<br /><br />Myself, I prefer them on the off season. It spreads out the "be an informed voter" pain instead of stacking everything up for a novel-length voters pamphlet.krhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01257941393760753111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6695120232450962671.post-54871853881568283142009-11-04T11:58:49.404-06:002009-11-04T11:58:49.404-06:00My employer has jobs for $9/hour.....which goes su...My employer has jobs for $9/hour.....which goes surprisingly far here.
