A week ago I wrote “Massachusetts unionized teachers demonstrate how to kill public support for charter schools” and the ballot question result was 62/38 against charters.
(Is there any good news for kids who are bored in whatever environment their local public school system chooses to provide? Yes! We voted 53.5/46.5 to legalize marijuana. And if Massachusetts citizens get the munchies after smoking all of their legal weed, we will be consuming products from animals raised in less confining conditions (78/22). On ballot question 1, whether or not a stoned citizen can go to a new slot machine parlor, we voted 61/39 against.)
Calif* legalized marijuana too. After all those years of cigarette taxes, banning smoking anywhere near buildings, smoking is in.
