It appears that the County Council voted, "NO CONFIDENCE" in the Whatcom County voters last night. Following the lead of the State Supreme court, the County Council determined that we the people are just not smart enough to understand what it is we are voting on. I guess from here on out, when the voters speak through the ballot box, those who have our consent to make or interpret laws will have us re -vote on what we just voted on, or just deem our individual ballots as unconstitutional until we vote how those smarter than us want us to vote.
As I predicted, this was a 6 to 1 vote to reconsider what we voted on already.
We the voters had a large majority, not a close call, but a decisive vote to say that we the people want our district representatives elected by those who live in the district. The main argument put forth by council members is that we didn't understand what we were voting on. HOGWASH!
Okay, we'll vote to reconsider how we voted. (I hope that County Taxpayer Funds won't pay for any education propaganda on this Ballot Measure.) And when we the people vote on this one, we will probably vote the same as we did last time. I wonder just how many times we will have to vote on this?
Voters Pamphlet of the Future:
Measure 12,501: Vote to reconsider what voters considered five times already. Are you sure this is what you want? Didn't you really mean to vote for...
Measure 12,502: Vote to strike down previous legislation to nullify the previous vote...
Measure 12,503: Vote to etc, etc, etc...
