Ballot proposals are not my favorite. Under the guise of “let the people decide,” they are almost always an end-run around the actual legislative process (you know, the system where laws are supposed to come from). This November, we have potential for several stinkers, pretty much all led by moneyed self-interest groups trying to make laws and alter the constitution to meet their very narrow view of what Michigan should be. So this cartoon is my solution. (Actually, my other suggestion is to vote on making the day after Labor Day “Not Quite Ready for School to Start Day.” Everybody would get the day off, but you would have to play outside.)
