Open letter to Lincoln Fillmore:
I thought I would spare you the personal email that I would normally send on Amendment B.
Of course you are the sponsor!
Your reasoning for wanting to raise the threshold for passing Initiatives by the Citizens is flimsy. Never have I seen our citizens want to pass a tax increase. Your reasoning is, again, a mask for the real reason for this amendment.
You know better, and you hate our ability to challenge you and this Legislature.
The truth is you do not know better — yet again!
I hope all in this state will see through this attempt to take the ability of our citizens to challenge the supermajority in our Legislature. Vote NO on Amendment B.
