]]> Comment on CSAC Urges Special Election As Soon As Possible by Tamra Bailey http://www.csac.counties.org/blogs/index.php/2011/05/csac-urges-special-election/comment-page-1/#comment-88 Tamra Bailey Sun, 29 May 2011 22:14:14 +0000 http://www.csac.counties.org/blogs/?p=2121#comment-88 I'm very disappointed to see the direction CSAC has taken on the implementation of AB109. Instead of asking for repeal of this rushed law, (that lawmakers intentionally restricted the public and crime victims rights to participate), you're proposing that we continue to rush ahead as long as the counties get their anticipated piece of the pie. The unfortunate truth of the matter is that the only way to derail this dangerous law is to NOT ensure funding. Crime Victims are urging the repeal of AB109 with the chance to start over and participate criminal justice reform. In no way should any organization which represents the interest of a public entity be rewarding the bad behavior of the legislature. If the counties want to support the idea of raising taxes that's one thing. To ask voters to pay more to live more dangerously is quite another. I urge your group to consider demanding that AB109 be repealed or delayed until such a time that each county can prove that they are ready for this type of change.

Traveling in Asia particularly reinforces their population's "collective good" mentality. I think we might do well to actively practice that perspective more of the time here.
