Unfortunately, it’s a fleeting victory at best. The libs don’t understand no.
The next thing they try will be massive cuts to police departments, hospitals, fire departments, and public transit. There will be more threats of statewide early prisoner releases, and enough actual releases to cause some high profile crimes. They will do everything they can to impact the most people and spark public outrage, while they lay the footwork for the next ballot initiative.
While that is happening, they will be preparing their ‘emergency’ changes to the constitution just in case those pesky voters still don’t get the message. In their view, the government is entitled to the funds necessary to sustain itself in whatever means it desires, and taxpayers are being selfish in withholding permission to take what the goverment ‘needs’. The libs will see that the obvious answer is to eliminate any requirement to ask for what they ‘need’.
What you won’t hear them talk about is a reduction in administrative personnel in schools. There will not be reduction in janitorial services for public offices. There won’t be a reduction in the use of state vehicles or cell phones. There won’t be any reduction in the use of air travel for state employees.
There won’t be increased immigration enforcement. There won’t be any attempt to validate citizenship eligibility for public payments and services such as welfare, SSI, medical care, public schooling, public assistance training programs, counciling services, etc.
That liberal socialist California utopia isn’t ready to make the necessary changes to their leadership yet. Things will have to get much worse before people have had enough. Until then, anyone that can afford to leave will get out while they can. Those that remain will spend an ever-increasing amount of their earnings to support those who don’t contribute. Those that don’t contribute have no reason to leave, and perhaps will grow in number.
When the state goes bankrupt, expect Obumblehead to bail them out with funds stolen from the rest of the country. Along with the bailout funds will come the regular strings that will remove any remaining states rights belonging to the citizens of California.
Overall, it’s a sad preview of the fate of the country.
Tom Golisano walked out of NY in protest of increased taxes. He joins Rush Limbaugh in a tax protest. If more of the “wealthy” would walk the walk, things would change ina hurry.
They do this everywhere-it’s the same here in MN.
Threaten to lay off firefighters and cops when we already lead the nation in probation vs. incarceration spending...
Meanwhile, no mention of cutting of local gubermtin aid funding for cities(like our state capitol city) that support crimaliens-”sanctuary city”, St.Paul)
