State spending is likely to be reduced relative to current law, due to the additional spending limit and new powers granted to the governor. Reductions could apply to schools and shift costs to other local governments. If the election were held today, would you vote yes or no on Proposition 76?"

Likely according to whom? I don't buy it for reasons I've already articulated.

The way the spending limit is calculated, spending cuts don't have to come for another few years. Care to guess who may be out of office then? No one wants those kinds of cuts but every one likes to hear talk about proposed spending cuts more than talk about proposed tax increases. No one wants those either.
