I wish they would do another Proposition 13 where the issue is cutting taxes rather than the issue being to prevent a tax increase. Let's go on offense. An initiative to cut income taxes would be perfect to smoke out all of those politicians who are in favor of tax increases.

I think we will. There's a movement getting underway to put together a referendum to limit state spending increases to be proportionate to population growth + inflation growth. Personally, I'd make it a little less, since a 3% increase in population shouldn't require 3% more state employees (economies of scale ought to kick in), but I'll take what I can get. We had a referendum like this that passed a while back, but they snuck a repeal of it into another referendum that passed. If it had been in effect the last few years, we wouldn't be in this mess.
