Prop 25: Out of the Frying Pan and Into the Fire. NO. This changes the 2/3 vote requirement for the state budget to a simple majority – a reform I have long supported. Experience has shown that the current 2/3 vote requirement for the budget does not restrain spending and it utterly blurs accountability. But such a reform MUST repair the 2/3 vote requirement for all tax increases and restore constitutional spending and borrowing limits. Without these provisions, Prop. 25 would be a disaster for taxpayers and a recipe for bankruptcy.

What the heck is he saying there? Does he believe in majority rule or does he believe in a need for 2/3? He says the 2/3 requirement does not restrain spending and "blurs accountability." So, if he's against the 2/3 requirement, is he in favor of 50%, which would be a Yes on 25 vote?

Sigh.

It should have read, “I got his list last week. I’m voting exactly this way”.
