I don't believe that this diminishes our representative Democracy in any way. Last year our elected government passed House Bill 1590 and it was signed into law by our elected Governor. That law allows for the cities and counties to enact a very specific tax increase for a very specific purpose. If in this fall's election the people choose to remove those representatives from office over this issue and change the direction of our state, that's Democracy in action. Tax law may be repealed by the elected representatives. Direct Democracy in as complex a society as ours would certainly fail. Representative Democracy works just as ours does and it doesn't always make everyone happy with the result.
