You and me both ... I love California, I'm fifth generation, my children are sixth generation! But we are bankrupting our future, heaping debt onto our children. Still ... jobs are here, and until we can get comparable jobs out of state, I doubt we'll be making a move.

The Bee is sooooo predictable. They see an opportunity to expand goverment funding (bonds) and dive in to advance the agenda. If they thought there was a chance for higher taxes, they'd be pushing that.

And it needs to repair many of its existing schools, whose maintenance was shamefully neglected for years in the financial scramble that followed enactment of Proposition 13 in 1978.

The libs still want to rewrite history, even 25 years later. They can't stand it that hindsight has proven that Ronald Reagan was right about both foreign policy and tax cuts, and that Prop. 13 actually strangled the government behemoth for a few years.

I lived in California in the years following 1978, and there were no schools in my area falling into disrepair. Instead, the economy boomed thanks to us peons being able to keep more or our money in our pockets thanks to Prop. 13, followed by Reagan's tax cuts in 1986.

Dan Waters is not stupid - he knows these facts. He is being dishonest.
