A Threat To PG&E

Megan comments on my last post:

Two-thirds voter approval is the standard for local General Obligation bonds for non-school related infrastructure and for local special taxes.

A vote requirement will ensure a decision by local government leaders to use public dollars or incur public debt to go into the retail electricity business gets the public discussion it deserves.

Megan Has clearly not visited this blog much. In Wonks Anonymous humble opinion we should have a simple majority requirement for all measures. We went to war in Iraq so that 1/3 of the population - that would be the Sunnis - did not run the lives of the rest of the population.

As things now stand 1/3 of the population of California - that would be of the gold hugging market worshippers - can run the the lives of the rest of us.

This is not about public discussion. It is about public obstruction of stuff that Megan and her employers do not approve of. Pretty much like the filibusters and all of the other blocking tactics now being employed at a national level.
