Expect Elected Leaders to Lead, Not Punt
These folks talk cynical about trusting elected officials, and beat their chests about the wisdom of the masses, as if a ready rebuttal to that misguided conclusion weren’t at hand in the almost ubiquitous dim-witted ranting of the masses on platforms like Facebook and Twitter.

Besides, if we’re just going to put every issue on the ballot, why even bother with electing people like county commissioners?
