[Prudence]

Sometimes I support citizen initiatives. We've had some situations here where politicians basicially refuse to act lest they anger one side or the other. What particularly annoyed me this time around is that the legislature had finally gotten off their collective butts and done something and we were voting to undo it. Never mind that the rationale for shooting down several prior initiatives in prior years was that the legislature should be acting, not leaving it to the people to legislate major issues (in this case, transportation funding). Now that the legislature had acted, the people complained. Gah! Yes, government should, ideally, serve the people. But micromanagement rarely increases efficiency or efficacy.
