Editorial: Ballot-Box Budgeting Is a ‘Lousy System’
A Contra Costa Times editorial argues that ballot-box budgeting is a flawed system because "when decisions are made at the ballot box, voters aren't given full information for they're not provided alternatives." It concludes, "Ballot-box budgeting is a lousy system that won't end until voters recognize the pitfalls of their ways."
