It almost seems arbitrary which items are put to a public vote, which are voted on by the board and which are enacted by executive decision. Of course, such is the nature of politics, I may get to vote on whether my city can build a hotel but I get no vote on whether we should invade a foreign country. The community is given a few relatively inconsequential items to vote on and has no say in the important decisions. The next question to ask is “What items will be put to a vote?”.
