You gotta go to the mustang ranch to see more propositions than that.

Since the prop system was devised as a way to bypass the state legislature, doesn't that say something about the job they are doing up in Sacmo?

Those proposing and supporting new bonds and taxes are of the opinion that we don't pay enough and/or the legislature cannot be depended upon to fund the "right" things from the existing taxes (those being, apparently, a grab bag from levees to highway equipment to yet more NEA fodder). Those proposing and supporting new laws are of the opinion that the legislature is either ignoring or actively thwarting the public's will.

The one I'm happiest to see is Prop. 90, which will address the horrible Kelo decision by the SCOTUS. It will be interesting to see who opposes it.

What would be the reason to vote for 90?

"Since the prop system was devised as a way to bypass the state legislature..."

California has never been without the Initiative and Referendum processes.
