I wasn't sure about the ins and outs of this aside from that stupid commercial about seat belts being wrapped around people and the signs posted in various locations to vote for it. I'll be voting no, but I wouldn't be surprised it it passes because other than that commercial and the signs, I have to mine alternative sources to get the real scoop because the pros/cons are certainly not something front and center on the local news - yet effects people's lives directly.

(Personally, I'd like to see some forward-thinking local news station develop an ongoing segment about political issues - but maybe that's a tall order because it seems to me that most folks largely consider themselves to be consumers rather than citizens.)
