The CPR is dangerous to constitutional government. It eliminates elected offices, forcing citizens to go to unelected bureaucrats for purposes that should be delegated to elected officials. It sets up super agencies that vest more power in the governor's office because the heads of the super agencies are appointed by the governor and not elected by the people. It changes county boundaries unconstitutionally by setting up regional government offices. Citizens lose representation in regional governments because most regional councils are appointed and do not have to honor open meeting laws like the Brown Act.
The CPR is a socialist dream consolidating power in one person (the governor) and wrests power from citizens who were formerly guaranteed the right to elected representation and a constitutional government.
You won't find me disagreeing with that assessment. To do this constitutionally would take 200 propositions. There are a few gold nuggets in the pile of U235. Common information systems is one that I can get behind. I would note that the implementation of this is NOT free. The change from county to regional authority (e.g. for schools) is just plain awful. Look at what the Coastal Commission has done for us.
