a conversation about just this, 15 minutes ago. We agreed that it would be a serious burn for this to pass while none of the others do, which is what I expect.
The lesser of two evils. I have two kids in public school, and our district is taking it on the chin.
We need a Constitutional convention in this state that returns us to representative government with decisions made by simple majority. Fuck these ballot initiatives and fuck the 2/3 threshold to get anything done.
I don't know what all the props are, but I know what 1A is and can tell you I'd have voted against it if I lived out there. I will stand on my head for a week if it's passed and those "temporary" tax increases remain temporary.
8. The truth is that those of us who live "out here" in CA wouldn't need any tax increases
if we got back from the Feds what we pay out to the Feds.
Unfortunately, we're one of those states that sees its money going to fund state governments around the country who get back a lot more from the Feds than they pay in, all so the populations of those states can make fun of CA's budget problems.
It is obvious that they should not get a raise---EVER. We have to get the government into the hands of the people. Get corporations out of government. Throw the bums out!
