The state of Texas also has one of the WEAKEST governorships in the entire United States. If they didn't have line-item veto powers, they wouldn't really have much of anything. The Texas state government is, for all intents and purposes, a figurehead organization who exists to ensure that state services and the legal system continue to function. |

.....because direct democracy gets us things like Prop 8 in California! Direct Democracy would also see a lot more skewing in terms of military over social projects, for example. It would also skew government spending towards what people want (health insurance) and away from what they don't (the Iraq war). |

Which is nice, except they wanted in on the Iraq war before they wanted out of it.
