Your local election issues this year.

I had the major Fridge Logic that it's possible for 20 and 27 to both pass. What would happen then?

Luckily, sensible minds prevailed (against both political parties, for obvious reasons, no less).

In case both pass, the one with a higher amount of votes takes effect.

The Dev Team Thinks of Everything.

The big one in my state is/was Proposition 1100/1105: They wanted to privatize liquor sales (WA has state-run liquor). I voted for it, but it failed. I'm sad, because it means I get to continue paying about 50% markup for my booze because the state needs money, and it's run by liberals (they believe the sinners should pay every time money runs short). Oh, and the state stores close at 7pm.

There was also the introduction of an income tax (WA has sales taxes already): I voted against it, because it dropped property taxes (which benefit municipalities) while taxing the rich (which only benefits the state). There's gotta be a better way. Haven't heard if that one went through.

Finally, we had something to increase funding to transportation, which I voted for enthusiastically; anything that helps my GF get to work on time I'll vote for. WA cut bus routes again this year, and they were already skimpy enough. Again, jury's still out, I hope it passed.

it's run by liberals (they believe the sinners should pay every time money runs short)

Are you serious

Yes, actually, I am...because its true.

At least where I live; every time the government (state, county or local) runs out of money...the tax on cigarettes, liquor and other bad-for-you substances/activities goes up.

Maybe it ain't so elsewhere, but it's true in Washington USA, sir...

^ He's right for other areas.

If the city of Pueblo (liberal stronghold in Colorado) wants to do something or it runs out of money it will always look at a sales or property tax increase as a first resort.

Unfortunately for Pueblo, tax hikes have to be put to vote by Colorado law thus they can't raise them by any significant margin and expect the voters to allow it.

Over here, it's the republicans who insist on banning alcohol sales on Sundays.

Same here. It does make me curious as to the whole drunken redneck thing considering rednecks have some of the most restrictive alcohol laws around.

Around here it's usually the Baptists that further those laws, and the beer ban was finally stricken just a few years ago. Funny enough, for years you could buy gallons of "hard liquor" but had to go out-of-county to find a drop of beer.

In Indiana, where the law against buying alcohol on Sundays is already in place, the biggest supporters of the ban are liquor store owners. Guaranteed day off and all.

^ Same in Colorado.

So the liberals are off the hook, then. It's everyone.

Brown County, WI: Prohibiting the state government from raiding the transportation fund: Passed (voted yes)
