Is he saying that he supports a simple majority vote for the budget as long as there is also a simple majority for tax hikes??

NO.

He's saying he might support a simple majority vote for the budget, but ONLY if there was a spending limit in place (like the old Gann spending cap), AND there was a 2/3 majority requirement for increasing FEES and taxes.

He has never supported lifting the 2/3 majority requirement for taxes.

I think the phrase he uses that has me confused is this:

But such a reform MUST repair the 2/3 vote requirement for all tax increases...

What does he mean by "repair"?
