Here we have a microcosm of the Prince Charles story that I reported about last weekend. Arnold Schwarzenegger, a man with strong Ohio ties, yet still the governor of California will be featured in phone calls to Ohio citizens, urging them to vote for Issue 4, which would take redistricting powers away from elected officials and give them to a court appointed committee. Now, I’m not in favor of Issue 4 at all, but that isn’t the point. Why would an Ohioan care about the opinion of a Californian elected official, over say, another Ohioan. I’m not saying his opinion is invalid, but the outcome of the decision made by people he is trying to influence, does not affect him in the least. Kinda like non-land owners favoring a property tax increase…
