“It is such a symbol of the dysfunction here in Sacramento”
It’s actually a symbol of the unwillingness to cut expenses.
The other prop restricting fees does not apply to taxes, yes?
So the price for getting your license doesn’t go up w/o 2/3 vote, but income, property, sales, and vice (excise taxes) go up on simple majority, along w/that timely budget.
CA voters told Sacramento Dems to 1. stop stealing local funds, 2. not raise taxes, 3. not raise fees, 4. pass a budget on time. 2011 could be fun for CA.
