Organizers for the Petition to hold a referendum on the Street Car say that they have had an overwhelming response. If they get enough signatures, it will send the final say to the taxpayers of Milwaukee and not just the Mayor and the Council.
I have seen the supporters of the Street Car bashing the petition. I have read where they are telling people that they are not informed and should not sign the petition. They then argue there point for the Street Car.
First of all, what is wrong with it going to a referendum? Why shouldn't the Tax Payers have the final say?
The referendum is a win for the Tax Payers. It will force it be voted on by the very people that will be paying for it. It will also force the Mayor and Council to inform the public of the whole project.
If it is truly such a good idea then it will be approved by the referendum, if not then it will be voted down.
Government is supposed to be by the people and for the people, it is not suppose to be the Mayor or President telling us what we want and need and doing it even if we don't want it.
The Referendum is a good thing.
