I think that the Kali legislature (all dem) will pass this nickel tax easily. What we think will have zip to do with it.

As I understand the article, Perata is trying to get this on the ballot in the form of a proposition in November. There could be unanimity among the general assembly, but it wouldn't become enforcable until if/when it's passed by the referendum.

Actually, it'll be harder to pass than you might think. Many of the Democrats represent the Central Valley which is becoming increasingly conservative. They will abstain or vote no -- or just won't be there, developing food poisoning that keeps them in the bathroom. The gun grabbing Republicans may oppose it because it's a tax.

If it passes, I don't think Davis will sign it. It will bring gunners to the polls. He'll sign it next year if he wins in November.

We HAVE to elect Bill Simon.
