Wonks Anonymous just got the voters pamphlet for our May 19th special election. He really tried to read proposition 1A, the spending limit/tax extension/guarantees not to gut schools proposition but he couldn't finish it.
As far as Wonks Anonymous can tell the proposition extends the sway of minority rule to encompass not only the budget and taxes but also all other appropriations legislation. He has been told that it gives the governor special powers and caps spending.
Wonks Anonymous cannot tell his readers that this is really true after skimming the two pages of legal obfuscation. California divorce law is clearer than this. He is sure that, if 1A passes, there will be much litigation regarding its meaning.
We can save ourselves a lot of grief by just voting no. Wonks Anonymous recommends voting no on everything to avoid the risk of approving some foolishness or other.

Proposition 1A through 1F of the propositions in the upcoming special election consider a NO vote, because it's downright fraud. Remember you are paying for prison cells, education health care and other forced Federal mandates for illegal alien families. Since proposition 187 those people in Sacramento have stuck it to you. Welfare - $1.8 to $3 billion per year is lost due to fraud in the Food Stamps, Medi-Cal and Cal WORKS programs. Remove illegal immigrants and felons from Cal WORKS. More than 42 percent of California’s taxpayer-funded, Medi-Cal births are to illegal immigrant mothers. Every month, $37 million in welfare and food stamps, health care goes to illegal alien families in Los Angeles county. A blockbuster example of fraud is the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). Economics writer Ed Rubenstein’s new report, “The Earned Income Tax Credit and Illegal Immigration: A Study in Fraud, Abuse, and Liberal Activism,” The author says immigrants collected about $12 billion from the EITC last year, the majority not paying a cent towards it. Robert Rector of the Heritage Foundation found high school-dropouts-who headed households pay an average of $9,700 a year in taxes but collect an average of $32,138 a year in benefits. All this money in real dollars is procured from unaware taxpayers. Surf NUMBERSUSA for the truth not the propaganda you expect for the open border zealots.
Thanks for sharing.
