MCA may not be such a bad thing.

Not only is it not a bad idea, it is our Right, as American's and as Tax Payers.
First of all not enough people anymore are involved at the basic level of voting once a year. But after that even those that vote far fewer remain involved enough to make sure that the people they elect are doing what it is that they promised, when they campaigned.
As citizens in a community, especially when you own property and pay taxes you have a great many rights that people often over look. You have every right to question your elected officials, they might not like it, but you do have the right. You have the right to sit down and talk to them too.... it doesn't mean they have to make it easy for you.... but you do have the right.
