Ever been to a NH Town Meeting pre SB 2 where mutli-million dollar warrant articles slide through without so much as a peep from the electorate. Then comes the 10K item about replacement of the Town Hall roof.

You'd think the Roman Emperor Augustus had entered the room, and of course every local contractor has something to say. And of course the warrant article is flawed, the chairman and the selectmen are flawed. Whatever.

Now we have SB 2 and no one shows up on Saturday. So much for the debate.

What was the legislation under debate in the case? Was it major? How many amendments were there? And more importantly, what was the impact to the 5th Congressional district in Wisconsin? I think if some of these questions were in fact to be answered the whole situation would be clearer. Of course C-SPAN isn't in the business of answering questions.

In the meantime, in politics nothing is ever as it seems.
