Scott Nago Solves Democracy Crisis With Magic Basket of Destiny

[MyManao]

I'd love an example of a you, an individual, making a law.

County's "marijuana is the lowest law enforcement priority" comes to mind.

Ah, yes, kalakoa, but (I thought at least) with the earlier poster going on about legislators, senators, and the governor it was clear that my post/question was directed to State. 

And, yes, County does have, although it is used far less than it could (one could say should) be, referendum. That's why I titled my earlier post over on the political board An ode to Jerry Rothstein. Jerry used, was a champion of, County's right to referendum. And although the bills he got on our ballot weren't always successful he sure worked long and tirelessly to make them happen. His Save Hapuna drive to get signatures was exemplary. And although the bill lost, Jerry sitting there day after day in the parking lot at Hapuna gathering signatures was a real life testament to what one person can do. 

If only we had the right to referendum on the state level. Then yes, an individual could write state law that could cause change in consequential ways. But without it, an individual, without deep pockets and deep connections, is powerless.
