"If you don't keep the pressure on the legislature (i.e. don't ask for bond election) then they will NEVER cut spending"

Arnold was very specific, that the bond measure would be tied to spending caps.

"Schwarzenegger said the bonds must be linked to a constitutional spending limit that will prevent the state from overspending and developing deficits in the future."

The legislature has managed to get around Gann limits before and will do so again. My recommendation is to constitutionally limit taxes and fees so there is no more money to go for. Then the fight becomes what it should be - what is important for the state to do given limited resources.
