Opinion: "Soprano State" Taxpayers Victims of Too Much Government
Category: Initiative and Referendum · State: New Jersey · Source: Asbury Park Press
I've just finished reading "The Soprano State" by Bob Ingle and Sandy McClure. What a mind-numbing experience. No fault of the authors. But 287 pages detailing the ways by which self-serving pols and their greedy cronies raid state and local treasuries and gang-rape the New Jersey taxpayer end up being a real downer. Is this what democracy is all about?
Opinion: Share Power With Citizens
Category: Initiative and Referendum · State: New Jersey · Source: Asbury Park Press

It's time to give New Jersey voters a crack at it: They should demand that lawmakers give them the power of initiative and referendum — a power granted citizens in 27 states and most Western democracies.
