All fine and good, but you are talking a year at least before these things would be put in front of the voters, in the meantime...

That sound you hear is status quo bubbling away in the manure pond called Stinkymento... and sustained levels of spending due to mandates and a reluctance to break unions holds on budgets.

a reluctance to break unions holds on budgets

How, *specifically*, can the Governor do this. He's facing a legislature of around 60% union-paid off and needs 2/3's the legislature to pass a budget to begin with? He's called them girlymen, he's asked for the people's help to turn out unresponsive legislators and identified this as a problem in getting a really good budget passed. I'm afraid it *WILL* take the Governor, in concert with the voters, to break their bought & paid-for backs to restore needed discipline. We didn't get into this mess overnight and it'll not be fixed overnight either.
