My company back in MN gave everyone a half day to vote if they wanted, but the hourly employees had to use VAC time or make it up. I thought that was fair enough.Comment

Re: The States: Mad Scientist Laboratories of Democracy
Alaska's Governor announces budget plan.
Main points:
-Institute a State Income tax
-Capping payout amount for the Permanent Fund Dividend
-Restructuring oil tax credits
-Reducing the cuts in the State budget
Will this happen?
Should it happen? Absolutely.“I’ll certainly give credit for trying,” said Sen. Bill Wielechowski, D-Anchorage. “But, I mean, does he really think he’s going to get this past the Legislature?”U-A-A!!!Go!Go!GreenandGold!

Re: The States: Mad Scientist Laboratories of Democracy
Does the Alaskan constitution have a balanced budget requirement? Heck, does Alaska even have a constitution or do you just wing it every year like in The Lottery in Babylon?Originally posted by Jimjamesak View PostLast edited by Kepler; 12-09-2015, 03:47 PM.Cornell University

Alaska does have a constitution (it's a statehood requirement) but AFAIK it doesn't have a balanced budget requirement.Originally posted by Kepler View Post
This is pretty much everything nobody in the state wants but what the state really needs.
Of course every (R) person out there is saying that if we just cut the budget more and more we'll be fine and let's start with those welfare programs...

Re: The States: Mad Scientist Laboratories of Democracy
Bill to end straight-ticket voting in MI narrowly passes state House.
It goes on to the state senate, where Republicans are OK with ending straight-ticket voting, but not OK with expanding absentee voting.Facebook: bcowles920 Instagram: missthundercat01

Re: The States: Mad Scientist Laboratories of Democracy
How is straight ticket even legal?
And how effing lazy are we that we can't take a moment to pause and reflect for each person were voting for?

Re: The States: Mad Scientist Laboratories of Democracy
Why would it be illegal? It's just a way to quickly vote along party lines. It's not required and the option is already there to "pause and reflect" for each person.Originally posted by dxmnkd316 View PostComment

Re: The States: Mad Scientist Laboratories of Democracy
This happens for lower offices in MD. For example, school board has no affiliation. It's actually a really good idea -- it forces me to research the candidates to weed out the wackjobs who want to rewrite high school textbooks to say Jim Crow never happened. (Typically, screening out the Republicans does the same thing, but for lower office party affiliation stops being about policy and starts being about which developer is bribing you).Originally posted by JF_Gophers View PostCornell University

Re: The States: Mad Scientist Laboratories of Democracy
The problem is, in Minnesota this means that if your last name if Johnson or Olson or Anderson, you automatically get elected even if you happen to be in prison.Originally posted by Kepler View PostThat community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.Comment
