Referendums evidently don't matter to Dems

Thanks Kris Wisnefske, candidate for 80th Assembly, for saying referendums really are a bad idea.
Davis calls for a reduced reliance on property taxes for school funding. He wants voters to decide on specific reforms, shifting to other revenue sources, by approving them in referendums.

"Referendums are not going to help," Wisnefske said. "We've already seen that across the state. Some districts are having to close because referendums failed."

Wisnefske also disagrees with Davis' proposal to eliminate the WKCE and replace it with what he says are more modern tests that deliver faster results.

She said the WKCE is a "well-recognized, professional test."

"What the problem with it is how we do it," Wisnefske said.
So I guess the voters should have no say?

But the voters do have a say. We get to pick between Kris and Brett. We get to choose our school board.

Here's a better question for you. What do conservatives have against representative democracy?

What about this says I'm against representative democracy?

I'm for the voters having a say in the way their tax dollars are spent.

More proof the tagline of my blog "Every time you think no one can be that stupid, a liberal proves you wrong" is 100% accurate.
