Calls Calif. Government ‘Dysfunctional’ - NYTimes.com:
And he is right on the money...
"“Much of this constitutional and statutory structure has been brought about not by legislative fact-gathering and deliberation, but rather by the approval of voter initiative measures, often (always) funded by special interests. These interests are allowed under the law to pay a bounty to signature-gatherers for each signer. Frequent amendments — coupled with the implicit threat of more in the future — have rendered our state government dysfunctional, at least in times of severe economic decline.”"
Unfortunately, special interests rule this state; just ask any lawmaker in Sacramento.
