The Democrats now own California, and the public employee unions own the Democrats.
The good news is there will not be any budget “deadlocks” since there is no one to stand in the way of more taxes. And to Democrats “more taxes” is the answer to every question.
My only question is will they try to repeal Prop 13 as a whole, or do it in steps with businesses first?
California businesses should realize that there are other states out there with ‘business friendly climates’ that would welcome them with open arms...many of them in the beautiful southeast. :-)
1. “The Democrats now own California, and the public employee unions own the Democrats.” ‘The teacher unions and other state/county/city unions will make for any lost ground due to the few no’s Arnold said.
2. “The good news is there will not be any budget “deadlocks” since there is no one to stand in the way of more taxes. And to Democrats “more taxes” is the answer to every question.” We will now be taxed to pay for every union thug, wild a$$ed green bs and any illegals wanting a free stay in California. How will they pay for this? See your comment #3 below.

‘We started seeing anti Prop 13 bumper stickers around the town, county and N California in the last few months. We have hear rumors of the state union thugs being immune to the coming increases re taxing Prop 13 homes. Off course any business in Califonia except the phoney green bs will get hammered by increases in Prop 13.’
Repeal Prop 13 and things are going to get REALLY ugly for alot of homeowners who have had their homes for years in nice neighborhoods and can comfortably afford them because their taxes are not outlandish. My Dad is one of these people. Custom built house in 1979 on 2.8 acres. Totally paid off (he was a small business owner now retired) The house has more then tripled in value because of the area its in, he can afford to stay in it because the taxes are reasonable. There are alot of people who will get hosed if this happens.
