California Budget Initiatives

The push is on for voters to approve several budget initiatives in the State of California to help dig the state out of a self induced budget black hole. Anyone watching TV in the area is blessed to see commercials supporting these initiatives sponsered by the Firefighter, Police and Teachers Unions working in conjunction.

Being registered to permanently recieve an absentee ballot I received my ballot and a bunch of booklets explaining these initiatives to me. I sat down and read through the first few of them and read what the supposed effects and costs would be. Once more the politicians are simply putting a band-aid over a severed artery and failing to deal with the real problems.

Any initiative written by the politicians and supported by the public unions that is supposed to 'control' the politicians is garbage. May these initiatives go down in flames forcing the state to face up to the issues and pay the true cost of all that it has been doing.
