I will vote against

Dear Editor,

In Senator Marklein's recent newsletter, he cites two questions that will be on the November ballot.

QUESTION 1:  "Delegation of appropriation power. Shall section 35 (1) of article IV of the constitution be created to provide that the legislature may not delegate its sole power to determine how moneys shall be appropriated?"

 QUESTION 2:  "Allocation of federal moneys. Shall section 35 (2) of article IV of the constitution be created to prohibit the governor from allocating any federal moneys the governor accepts on behalf of the state without the approval of the legislature by joint resolution or as provided by legislative rule?

The Joint Finance Committee, of which Senator Marklein is CO-Chair, cut many of the governor's proposals on "how to spend the people's money." Proposals that would have brought resources into our community. Now wants to cut the governor out of spending Federal dollars that can be spent on what the People want. 

Referring to your question "Do you think your elected representatives should have a role in this discussion?"  My representatives, yes, but that is not you. You and your Republican cronies only represent your rich donors, not your constituents. 

I expressed how I would like my tax dollars to be spent by helping to elect our governor. In November I will definitely vote against your proposals.
