Elections: Democracy

Last week was elections of course and as a voter in Washington State I am thinking of removing my voting rights. There were a couple of propositions that got passed that got me emotional. Proposition 937 requires that our energy corporations buy 15% of our energy supply from wind power which is fine except for now California is going to buy are cheap hydro power from us because we can no longer use it, because this proposition got past. Now lets talk about 933 which rolls back county state regulations which would be beneficial to tax payers on the Eastside but instead it didn't pass.

One thing I am happy to see is a proposition that would of gave Seattle the right to use tax payer money for the new Seattle Sonics Arena without the public vote. I think it is important to have the publics vote in passing a sports facility, when their tax money is being used.I don't want to see the track passed without voter approval. This is a democracy.
