It seems more and more power is falling into the hands of the people and out of the hands of entrenched politicians. Those pesky citizen taxpayers have term-limited the politicians, you see, and are using the initiative process to further reform government.
Term limits deprive the poor, downtrodden legislators of their lifelong monopoly on power.
Excuse me while I wring out the tears from my handkerchief. Okay . . . I'm okay now. Thank goodness legislators, in alliance with special interests, are doing something about this, thank goodness. They plan to regulate initiatives out of existence and silence those pesky citizens.
