Brian G. Dowling on 11 Sep 11What's Next California is an unprecedented attempt to bring the people into the process in a new way-one that is representative and thoughtful. A scientific random sample of the entire state will be transported to a single place for a weekend of face-to-face discussions, in small groups and in dialogue with competing experts. In California's first statewide "Deliberative Poll," the people will be supported by factual information and will consider the critical arguments on both sides of issues, then will articulate their priorities for fixing the state.
