The legislature needs to get the hell out of the exam room and let kids and families figure out their medical care with their physician.

Reply to Why does this state seem to lose power so frequently? It’s always related to downed power lines from trees? Or is this a grid issue? by JayBisky
We used to lose power many times every winter. About ten years ago, my town made a concerted effort to trim or remove trees and branches near power lines; we've since had maybe 20% as many outages as before.

Ranked choice voting is the first step we have to take to get away from this two-party stranglehold on American politics.
People often have a hard time with change, but RCV isn't really hard to understand. In fact, we rank-choice things all the time: "I want ham, but if they don't have it, then turkey would be fine". "Chocolate is my first choice if they have it. If not, chocolate chip. I guess if they don't have either, I'll take vanilla"
It actually opens up our political choices, because you can vote for a third party candidate without feeling you've "wasted" your vote, or inadvertently helping a candidate you really oppose by siphoning a vote away from their opponent. I would love to see RCV everywhere.
