Political Accountability

CNN) -- Democrats agree that new voting is needed to determine convention delegates for Florida and Michigan, but they can't figure out how to pay for it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What? Who's going to pay for it? Michigan and Florida should. Is there no accountability anymore? You can't know the rules, break them, and then want the DNC to pick up the tab. If you want your states vote to count, then following the procedures and pay the bill. It egregious that this is even up for discussion. Howard Dean was correct when he stated the following:

"The rules were set a year and a half ago. Florida and Michigan voted for them and then decided that they didn't need to abide by the rules. When you're in a contest, you do need to abide by the rules," he said. "You cannot violate the rules of the process and then expect to get forgiven for it," he said.

It looks like your decision to trump the party is going to cost your citizens twice. First their vote, then their tax money.
