Elevated Voices: "I'm inclined to agree with Sen. [Norma] Anderson on this one. The job of government is not to 'implement initiatives' as Campbell says - it is to govern in the best interests of the people. The argument Campbell and his cronies will surely use is that the will of the people is reflected in initiatives, but that doesn't mean we should make it easier for someone to put anything they want on the ballot. Anderson's example of TABOR and Amendment 23 is a good one, because the general public isn't always capable of determining whether one measure will contradict or impede another; that's the job of our elected officials, and that's the way it should stay."
