I absolute agree, SB2 allows more working people to vote, because they have all day to vote, not just a few hours on an evening or on a Saturday when they are tired or have plans with their family. As Rick Heath's letter said, "the powers (that) be" don't like SBs because they can pack the meeting and get their pet projects voted on. Instead of a few hundred voting, thousands vote and that is a much better representation. I agree not quite as many attend the deliberative sessions, but still, I think there is a pretty fair turnout. I think the proof is in these two letters.
