I am curious to know why you have left out what I see as a very important option on this poll. THose of us who are for a living wage, but agaisnt putting it on this Oct 4 ballot. See I support a living wage one hundred percent, I think its the only moral option for a socicety if capitalism is to be the accepted economic system. But as a political organizer I'm afraid there hasn't been enough work on the issue just yet to get it to pass, and THAT is the most dangerous thing i think we could have. If this ballot initaitve fails, and I'm afraid it will, we will be setting back the living wage movement in Albuquerque for at least 5 years. This is ipmortant, creating a society with justice and fairness is of the highest importance, but I oppose, personally, putting this on the ballot this fall.Marshall Martineznoreply@blogger.com
