I heard Tom McClintock talking about bond issues on talk radio the other day. His point was that you should never vote for bond measures if it's not a long term capital improvement.
For example, he said the levee bond issue was worthwhile, especially since under state law every taxpayer in the state will have to chip in if there is a levee breach and a major flood disaster.
The rest he was against, because they didn't meet his criteria.
I think Tom McClintock is also supporting the trasportation infrastructure bond.
