As usual, they're mixing a little truth with a mountain of bullchit, while still blaming Prop 13 for all the problems that plague the state and implying that they actually have some kind of solution that only complicates things further.
They are so pist off that suburban communities won't help large cities with the homelessness and crime issues that they and their ilk have created, that they can't see straight!!! They will put forth a statewide ballot measure to create more "Rural Cleansing" to divert MORE REVENUE to the damned cities... and I do mean "damned!"
They are so "damned" by liberals that they are creating the very "ex-urban refugees" that are crowding out the cows that do not vote!!!
It hasn't. Seeing that Ernest appreciated my input, I figured I'd go further and post the source of my information on this matter, which is the government finance series of articles in Western City . (this is a better link then the one in my earlier post) The only reason I posted the Torklackson article was because he explained what ERAF was by the third paragraph.
I'm with you on Steinberg's ulterior motives. Further, I would not be surprised to learn that he is coordinating with the Bee and other news agencies to deceive the public. I think that he and the bureau-nazis are scared of this ballot intiative. It is an easy sell, local control. Without media help, Steinberg etal. will have a hard time stopping this intiative. That remains the source of my disgust.
