The dems got blown out of the water on Prop 56? that would have allowed a new budget on 55% vote instead of the now required 75%. A major blow to the Sacramento Bee paper which was pushing it very hard.

Actually it was two-thirds. The Sacramento Bee pushed hard for it and it went down in flames in every county in the state except in San Francisco. More tax increases are being planned to fund various liberal pet projects that will come onto the November ballot. I don't think voters will be receptive to them and whatever people may say about this being a liberal state on social issues, people here are conservative when it comes to their own pocketbooks. I don't think the politicians have absorbed the message yet.
