Some don't vote and probably shouldn't complain, but others aren't able to vote at all.

If they aren't able to vote, there are legitimate ways to remedy that.

I disagree with that too. America is supposed to be a marketplace of ideas. People should have, and do have the right and responsibility to complain whether they vote or not.

If you want it - go to the polls and vote for it. Don't sit here and complain about road funding. The legislature is giving you a chance to improve the situation.

How about voting no on Prop 1? How about the taxpayers get the real details of how our money is being spent? Props are simply ploys to stuff more cash into the pockets of a few. Big money sure does a great job of hiring ad firms that really know how to mock up doom and gloom.
We already give the Government enough money to support all infrastructure ventures.
I can remember back in the 80's seeing roads in Texas getting built very efficiently. Strange how people are just plain sheepish.
