The property tax cap helped stabilize NJ (which is still in horrible shape); at least our taxes don’t go up $500 to $600 annually anymore. It was encouraging to see so many government workers lose their jobs; they had forgotten that they work for us, and were squeezing us harder & harder.
The long-term costs of the public employees will drown CA, NJ, NY, IL; anyone thinking of moving to or opening a business in those states should bear in mind that they are buying a share of a huge IOU.
