They can raise taxes, override vetos, bypass legislative rules, and put constitutional reforms on the ballot now without a single GOP vote. The GOP, which has been dying in this state, is now officially irrelavent in California.
Proposition 13, which limits the amount of property taxes that can be collected, can now be overturned in the California Legislature.
Give California back to Mexico. We can afford to prop them up anymore.
That is not all of the bad news in California. Proposition 39 passed. Prop 39 is a another tax increase on businesses with money going to “green energy.” Prop. 30 passed, it is for a “temporary” tax increase. San Diego will have the worst mayor in history, former U.S. Representative fish face Bob Filner. He is red diaper baby stooge of the labor unions. It also looks like Congressman Bilbray is going down to another union stooge named Scott Peterson. I keep pinching myself. I want to believe this is not real. This is a nightmare.
I hope conservatives living in California understand what this means. Get out, get out now. The state is about to tax you into oblivion. Move to a red state - preferably one with low minority population and try to ride out the storm. It isn’t really safe to move somewhere like Arizona or Texas either since those states will begin trending Democrat due to all the Hispanics. In a generation Republicans won’t even be able to win statewide in the lone star state. Unfortunately the kind of government you see in California will become the norm nationally at some point. The best we can do is find a decent red state that isn’t hosting a rapidly growing minority population and hunker down.
I hope and pray they overturn Prop 13.
I have been trying to get out of this asylum for 11 years. My wife refuses to leave but if they scrap Prop 13 she'll go.
I wonder why? Is it because we didn't have candidates?? Or was it because the MSM (which is still the news source of most Americans) think the GOP is out of touch on social issues!!
See my new tagline!!
Voter would still need to approve a prop 13 change as voters are the ones who enacted it to start with
Oh goodie, in 20 years California will start looking more like Detroit.
