Oh, so you think that Prop. 98 is a great idea -- requiring that no matter how much money is actually needed or taken in, there is a guaranteed funding for schools, which amounts to some 35-40% of the budget?
Also, why do you find it troubling, that Arnold doesn't want to subsidize local governments?
Oh, and you call yourself a conservative...
I don't know whether I should laugh or cry.
Cry Cry Cry
You are not alone if that is any consolation. ;-)
