The unions in Cali spent so much on ads to defeat Arnold's propositions last fall that the props went down in flames. Now the unions don't want to have to disclose what they spend members money on. The unions have a death grip wherever the Dems are in charge. I respect this Governor and hope he is able to bring about the reforms needed, this sort of thing really is 'for the children'.
That wasn't the problem (it's a great article containing a discussion of Proposition 75).
