MA: Preventing an Oligarchy Amendment (Failed)

[tmthforu94]

Under current law, with 3 Assemblymen, 2 people can completely run this region. This change is how we had it before when we had 3 Assemblymen, it just wasn't added with the new amendment back in March or so.

I didn't think this would be so controversial.

But they wouldn't.

Sure, you'd have the long process of public referendum. But only two people could turn a bill into a law. That seems like a lot of power when you consider how many active folks we have in this region.

It would have been nice if some of these concerns would have been addressed the multiple times I have previously brought this up.

I disagree with the concept of it taking just as many Assembly to pass a bill as to override a veto. The Governor is potentially in a position of no power, as they can't veto with 3 Assemblymen.
