I thought there was yet another initiative that passed that made tax increases a simple majority, not 2/3.

AB 32 was signed into law by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on September 27, 2006, and mandates the following:

1. Reducing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions to 1990 levels by 2020.

2. Producing one-third of the state’s electricity from renewable sources of energy by 2020.

The intent of Prop 23 is to delay the implementation of AB 32 until unemployment levels in California drop to 5.5 percent or less over four consecutive quarters.

It is not surprising that President Barack Obama and former U.S. Vice President Al Gore came out against Prop 23.

Gore has been promoting for the past several years his doomsday scenario of terrible, catastrophic happenings unless the world deals with the underlying causes of global warming.

IN SHORT, THE CLIMATE DOOMSAYERS WON !!

GOOD LUCK CALIFORNIA, PLEASE DON’T EXPECT THE REST OF THE USA TO BAIL YOU OUT IF YOU DECLARE BANKRUPCY.

No new fees or taxes? The simple answer would be to start issuing heavy fines to CA businesses to make up for any shortfall./s

“equiring the virtually impossible to get two-thirds vote, thus starving state and local treasuries even further.”

This is what its really about. Its like a 350 lb man claiming he’s starving...

This is an example of what I had written about on another blog. The propositions were VERY hard to understand. My friends and I went around and around trying to figure out what the REAL wording was in these props. I don't think half the people in Calif know what they voted for on these propositions. I know the Mexicans and the old folks didn't.

PREDICTION: The Dems controlling the CA Gov’t will get Liberal judges to pick and choose which are “constitutional” and which are not.
