[QUOTE="PobreCarlos, post: 935585, member: 16651"] As an addendum to "crowbar's" assertion made in criticism of the Indiana Legislature's "end run" action, namely.... "If 'your' side had any credibility you wouldn't have done an end run around the people and would have put it to a general vote via ballot initiative." ...I offer up the following article in the Pioneer Press at TwinCities.com (Minnesota is currently having a discussion about "RTW" as well), which can be found at..... [URL="http://www.twincities.com/ci_19876991"]Union fight brews with right-to-work push in Minnesota - TwinCities.com[/URL] which notes that, in Minnesota, the RTW proponents are PROPOSING a "ballot initiative" and it's the OPPONENTS of the measure who are saying that the issue belongs in the legislature! Here's a quote from the article: "Constitutional amendments require no action by the governor to get on the ballot, and Gov. Mark Dayton and Democratic leaders HAVE CRITICIZED THE REPUBLICAN MAJORITY FOR SEEKING CHANGE THROUGH BALLOT INITIATIVES RATHER THAN THROUGH THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS". Yep...guess it was "my side" that was/is trying to accomplish an "end run" alright. But one wonders just which "side" seems to be talking out of both sides of their mouths? And how does that speak to the "credibility" that "crowbar" mentions? Seems "RTW" opponents want it both ways, doesn't it? [/QUOTE]
