(#) Question
Some people think that the Legislature should contain fewer Legislators, even if
that means that each Legislator represents more people. Suppose these people
are at one end of a 1-to-7 scale, at point 1. Other people think that each
Legislator should represent fewer people, even if that means that the
4
Legislature contains more Legislators. Suppose these people are at the other
end of the scale, at point 7. People who are exactly in the middle are at point 4,
and of course other people have opinions at other points between 1 and 7.
Where would you place yourself on this scale, or wouldnt you have any opinion
about that?

Some people think that decisions made at the local level reflect the will of the
local community more closely than decisions made at the state level. Suppose
these people are at one end of a 1-to-7 scale, at point 1.Other people think that
decisions made at the local level are more dominated by powerful special
interests than decisions made at the state level. Suppose these people are at the
other end of the scale, at point 7. People who are exactly in the middle are at
point 4, and of course other people have opinions at other points between 1 and
7. Where would you place yourself on this scale, or wouldnt you have any
opinion about that?

Californias local governments generally
Some people think that local communities should be able to decide their own
taxes and services, even if that means big differences between communities.
Suppose these people are at one end of a 1-to-7 scale, at point 1.Other people
think that taxes and services should be the same throughout the state, even if
that means less local control. Suppose these people are at the other end of the
scale, at point 7. People who are exactly in the middle are at point 4. Where
would you place yourself on this scale, or wouldnt you have any opinion about
that?
