| So, as we all know, the standard Very Serious Person line before the election was to reject all the constitutional amendments and vote in favor of emergency managers. One of them famously referred to the effort to change the constitution as an attempt to buy the constitution. How much was spent? $152 million. Now, it would be wrong to suggest that all this was spent trying to buy constitutional amendments, because an awful lot of it as spent trying to convince voters to adopt the Very Serious Person line. Remember those ads of the old folks during the early days of October? The Chamber was trying to pay to preserve the sacred, virginal honor of the constitution. It's the same thing as saying that the Chamber won the bidding war last Tuesday. |
