I like it!
Well, I’m a month late to this particular party, but like a lot of folks here, I’ve been distracted by the national campaign, and hadn’t realized that something this radical had made it onto the ballot.
Thank you for sounding the alarm (and for the link to Hertzberger’s report.) This prop. really prompted the “who are those guys?” reflex while I was reading the voter pamphlet over the weekend.
Bottom line is that it’s not hyperbole to note that this measure would effectively end four centuries of representative self-rule, at least as it’s still understood in the US, and at least in California. The power grab is breathtaking.
Ping...haven’t seen you on any prop. 31 thread. This may be the most important item on the California ballot this year. Time to rally the troops!
I have not posted much here on ANY topic lately. :(
For now, I am primarily in LURK mode here.
