Throughout the campaign, Prop. 99 proponents repeatedly assured voters that after Election Day they would address the measure's shortcomings through the legislative process.^[1] We would gladly join such efforts with the Governor and the Legislature to protect all homes and all private property - including businesses, family farms and places of worship. If the legislature fails to act, we will consider qualifying another ballot measure.

Good faith with politicians? Don't count on it...

Start crafting a new initiative without the rent control issue attached and let's do this right.

And if the CA Supreme Court rules against it?...

The Achilles tendon of Prop 98 was the phased elmination of rent of control. Californians, of all ages, have come to expect that if property is not owner occupied, it is public land.

Rent control, a God given right in California, is the stuff that communism is made of. Establish strong property rights and the mob is kept at bay.

You forgot to give credit to the ACLU for this crap.

League of California Cities and the California State Association of Counties

These groups need to be neutered. I have no problem with cities or counties collaborating on common issues but separate governing organizations work for their own interests, not the people of those areas.

I think there should be a lawsuit to enjoin the California League of Cities and other governments from using third parties to spend tax revenues on political campaigns.

It's just plain wrong. In fact, I'm really surprised Howard Jarvis didn't file such an action.

I live in a state filled with morons. Depressing...

Start crafting a new initiative without the rent control issue attached and let's do this right.

And the very first act of the new initiative process should be to get rid of the morons who had the idiotic idea of mixing these issues. The outcome was completely predictable.

Yep. Simple inititatives survive court challenges better. Do the rent control law separately.
