Which is worse?

A state representative charged with four felony fraud and forgery charges or a judge that has an affair?

Which is fair?

New state Supreme Court justices’ makeup of 5 men to 2 women or 3 of one sex and 4 of the other sex?

Which is best?

Continuing the current process of constitutional amendment regarding an increase of taxes being passed with a simple majority vote — as it has been for 100-plus years? Or suddenly having a required 60% majority vote?

You be the judge.
