“Let the people decide” is the slogan being used by those pushing for the latest version of a taxpayer bill of rights in Wisconsin. Fair enough. But make sure they have all the facts at their disposal when they decide. And be sure to conduct a full debate of all the issues involved in the 2,500-word proposed constitutional amendment so that everyone gets a fair hearing.
More important, let’s make sure that whatever is submitted to the people for a vote is a proposal that Wisconsin can live with. Mentions a study by UW-Madison economist Andrew Reschovsky.
