We had a referendum about 15 years ago but I can't think of another instance where we voted on a law and even that one was a constitution type thing. I'm probably wrong on that but I can't remember another instance.

We're a docile bunch. We don't vote on laws, we just accept them as-is from our Overlords.
I sometimes wish we didn't vote on bonds, laws I kind of understand, but this bond **** blows my mind. They are voting on approving a new tax to help fund some cause. Problem is no one knows what the **** they actually do with the money. I guess it's good that we can decide if we get taxed, but everytime there is a bond it sounds like a good idea to me, but I really don't know what the money is really going to. There were 5 or 6 bonds on the ballot today. One for Public parks, one for transportation, one for the Arts, some others, they all sounded dandy to me, but I guess I should have done research on them before I went in.
