I've been reading editorials on MAPS 3 from papers and blogs all day, almost all of which are in favor of it. I was happy to see OkiePundit endorse it and take a veiled shot at Mark Shannon, especially considering it's run by pretty conservative Republicans. Just goes to show you what I had said earlier in this debate: it's not partisan and in most cases just joins the fringes of both sides in one hell of an awkward display Their editorial is here. My favorite part:
Here's another good editorial by the Journal Record.The Police and Firefighter unions have the most to be ashamed of, however. We are usually supportive of these organizations, but in this instance, they made fools out of themselves and came off as self-serving incompetents in their ill-conceived bid to increase their political clout. We understand they need more money, but that isn’t a valid reason to obstruct this proposal. In fact, considering the increased tax revenue that will likely result from MAPS 3, a large portion of which will go into their budget, their opposition amounts to self-destructive stupidity.
If you see any other good editorials, pro or con, please post them here so we can have them in one place ahead of tomorrow's vote. (My apologies if someone has already done this and I missed it!)
