So you prefer the current status quo, of the untenable budget straightjacket, right?

Obviously, since you voted against Prop. 76 and urged others to vote with the Democrats as well, to defeat it.

I am sure the Democrats and unions are deeply grateful to you, you served them well.

No! I prefer an honest straight forward initiative that addresses the problem, not one that includes unnecessary, destructive provisions while including a few non-substantive feel-good changes solely to deceive the public into voting for it.

California has already had its share of those--Prop 76 was just the latest.
For past deceptions, Read this article from the Reason Foundation:

Such a Deal: Californians Have a History of Buying Ballot Measures that are Deceptively Written and Advertised
