Reports From My Nanocosm

ARCADIA, Calif. – Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger warned Wednesday that legislators could push California into a nightmarish era of higher taxes and runaway spending unless voters endorse his proposal to place tighter controls on the state budget.

In a staged poolside appearance at a private home, the Republican governor told an invitation-only audience that Proposition 76 would give him the tools to fend off a Legislature eager to dig deeper into taxpayers’ pockets.

~ Yawn ~ If Arnie really cared, he wouldn’t have wasted $100 million plus on a special election and would have waited a year for the next statewide election. He’s right that the budget needs to be balanced, but I’m very skeptical that Prop 76 is the solution.  Redistricting, Prop 77, is the only proposal of his that I curently plan to vote for.
