How many times have we heard “We live in a democracy”? Or “It’s a constitutional republic”? Or some combination of “republic,” “democracy,” “constitutional” or “representative”?broadstreet.zone(48036);
Each of these words has an exact meaning. When misused, whether intentionally or not, they convey an unintended meaning.
Example: We elect representatives to all levels of government in a democratic fashion, yet we are not a representative democracy. So what are we? What form of government do we or did we have?
The answer lies in who is the sovereign.
In a democracy, sovereignty lies with the whole. In a representative democracy, those elected to represent a portion of the whole may implement any law they wish as long as 50 percent plus one agree. An example could be that on Tuesdays, everyone must wear a shirt of a certain color, or any money earned in excess of a specific amount will be seized by the

Reports: City will keep Forest Lake Police Department
Forest Lake City Councilwoman Mara Bain has reported that the city of Forest Lake has reached a tentative labor agreement with the unions representing Forest Lake police officers, which she said will result in a council move to withdraw its acceptance of the proposal from Washington County Sheriff’s Office for contract law enforcement. This move would mean that the city will continue to utilize the Forest Lake Police Department as Forest Lake’s primary law enforcement agency.
“The city is going to do an official statement, but I am going to confirm,” she told The Times regarding the deal with the unions, adding that the City Council will pass a resolution on the topic on Monday, May 15. The meeting to discuss the topic will start at 6:30 p.m.broadstreet.zone(48036);
