And now for something completely different

["John and Laurie Danahy" <JDANAHY@turbonet.com>]

Recently, on a trip to New York, I was stunned by the New York State law
that required cities, towns, villages, and school districts to submit their
yearly budgets to the voters for approval.  If the proposed budget fails to
get a simple majority, the governing entity must rework it and try again.
Or do a last resort bare bones budget.
How does everyone feel about this concept?  While initially against the
idea as too much work, I find that it interests me more as time goes by.
