RE: Fighting Absolutism With Activism
Is that setback initiative back on the ballot? Or maybe that was another state I'm thinking of.
In my show on this same topic (http://bit.ly/ActOut174), I talk about how a lot of what Växjö is capable of doing is based on the fact that they are in Sweden, one of the most environmentally progressive countries in the world. So, they have a hell of a head start when it comes to tackling these issues.
That being said, of course we can do it too - like Richmond, CA bucked Chevron for instance.
We just have a lot more oil and gas lobbying and political corruption to surmount.
Yep, it actually made it this year, it will be on the ballot! Even though the oil companies literally hired people to harass and intimidate the signature collectors, and even bought the collected signatures from one paid worker so he wouldn't turn them in.
