"While some may trust the current administration to not raise taxes, one has to acknowledge the shift in power and ask if it would be an improvement if a Democrat were in office."

This CA Citizen wants "a government of laws, rather than of men," or should we say Governors Only!!!

There are some tempting features in this measure under the current circumstances, but our CA constitution has already become such an abortion as a "living, breathing document" that it reads like nothing more than all the rest of the mish-mash of muddied laws on the books.

We need to not only "live within our means," we need to live within our constitution and stop treating it like a damn punching bag!!! Like the Federal constitution, the legislature should not be able to futz with it all by theirselves and even the people should not be able to change it so frivilously without some kind of super-majority vote, IMO!!!

Whipping the "law of the land" from pillar to post at each election, and especially at "special elections" is to not take "a government of laws, rather than of men," seriously!!! We used to be a representative republic, remember???
