One Rock, One Vote

They do miss the good old days.
Later in the show, in response to a caller's comment about who should be eligible to vote on property tax ballot issues, Mickelson suggested that only people who pay property taxes -- i.e., property owners -- should be allowed to do so, which would effectively exclude local citizens who are students or renters.

Of course renters "pay" some portion of property taxes through higher rent so it isn't as if increasing property taxes doesn't impact them. And of course the spending policies attached to those ballot measures affect them as much as anybody.
