Lew Nails it

Lew's commentary on the two thirds vote is spot on.  The voters have expressed their desire many times and continue to be ignored by the entrenched power brokers in Olympia - much as the current Clark County Council majority ignores the wishes of the majority of the voters in Clark County.



To answer Collins Michael's comment, most decisions made by government requires a simple majority to pass.  But there are certain decisions that are of such import, and may adversely affect enough people, that the bar is raised to a 2/3's super majority.  This allows the governing body more confidence that what it's doing is correct and wise and in accordance with the will of the people. Taxation is one of these issues.
