WHAT IS BELL CALIFORNIA REALLY A SYMPTOM OF AND WHAT CAN BE DONE TO PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING AGAIN

THE CAUSE OF BELL CALIFORNIAS PROBLEMS IS:
The average person has more important things to think about then what is happening in poltics or city government. Are the Lakas or the Clipas going to win? And are the Dodgas going to have a good season? Those are the things that troubled the average voter.
The city of Los Angeles went from being a robust financially healthy city to a place with a government on the verge of bankruptcy. And the average person dosent even really care. What caused the dire situation in Bell other cities like Los Angeles is that there is very little citizen interest or participation in local government.
What is really killing this country is the direct ballot. Public officer holders should be picked indirectly by civic groups who are more familiar with the candidates rather than the average potlicker who usually votes like he was playing darts rather than basing his vote on knowledge of the issures or candidates.
If this change in selecting public officals isnt make soon than this country will have a toltarian government or dictatorship. And that is something nobody wants to see happen.
