“I don’t feel as governor I have to take sides on every single issue,” Heineman said during a Wednesday news conference. …

The governor has side-stepped repeated questions about the proposed constitutional amendment the past few weeks, saying he hasn’t had time to study the issue.

If even the governor of a state hasn’t had enough time to form an opinion on an issue, is it responsible to put it before the voters? Is it safe to assume that the majority of Nebraska’s voters are more informed about the issues affecting the state than the governor? If so, what does that say about our voters, and what does it say about our governor?
