The chicken poop legislators know they can’t get these spending measures passed, so push it off as propositions. They twist words, mislead, and lie, but hey, all’s fair. Reap what you sow. State employees earn more than they are worth and retire on golden nests. Civil servants earning more than private sector doesn’t work. Time to come back to reality.

Thanks, you saved me the trouble of writing it. The only other thing I'd mention is that public employee unions are the principal budget-busters and absolutely must be brought to heel -- but of course they're the Democrat base, along with trial lawyers.

The voters have brought some of this upon themselves by stupidly approving huge bond obligations and carved-in-stone increases for education and other spending, etc. in the past. But those measures have been misleadingly promoted as you say. When voters have tried to limit spending on illegals, etc., were overruled by the courts or politicians. Time to get out the pitchforks.
