Paul, I think the biggest side effect of hte referenda is a reawakening of a political conscience in the state at the local level. This discussion has led people to believe that, perhaps, they do have a voice which matters.

The Spring primary in Evansville saw a voter turnout as large as the last general election. They had to reprint ballots twice and in the end resorted to using photocopies. All signs point to a record turnout next Tuesday. That's the real groundswell.

Just for the record, I was honored to be asked to moderate the candidates forum last Saturday and it was for that which I put on trousers. I was not able to be a part of the discussion Wednesday night but my daughter was there and brought me the full report.
