But why did you write the podcast? Why did you write the article not about any particular ballot issue, but just the fact that we have nine of

them? So, well, way back at the beginning of the year, we had something like 42 questions that were submitted.

So I think... 20 something of them received enough signatures to get on the ballot.

So it was 72,000 signatures.

So I actually have a ballot question, had a ballot question that I'm treasurer on and kind of my baby.

And it is a incredible feat to get those signatures, right? It's a mix of paid signatures and volunteer hours, volunteer time, people who really believe in it.

And with our question, which was on legislative stipend reform, it is a bipartisan group that came up with the language.

And so like, this doesn't seem like a good, necessarily a good way to make decisions either.
