Their anger and the pressure it produced led city leaders to change their course of action. There are, at times, elected bodies so bad that we shouldn't entrust them with special moneys for capital projects. Not long ago the San Antonio School District board fell in that category, and the voters appropriately turned down a major bond issue. When we woke up a bit and removed three incumbents, the new board persuaded us to pass a huge school bond issue, which seems to be proceeding quite well. I'm happy to say democracy in city government is much healthier than it was on that school board.
Democracy is for adults.
Adults don't kiss frogs and expect them to become princes. So grow up. Quit waiting for the knight in shining armor. Vote for or against the propositions based on whether they are good propositions and whether each is worth an extra penny for a few years every time you spend eight bucks. On that basis, I'm for three of the four propositions.
