- Is there any talk of recalling the governor? Is there time to get it
- on the November ballot?
-
- While I don't pretend to understand all the subtleties of the budget
- crisis, a governor who states publically that he would rather drive
- his state into chaos rather than compromise on the budget is guilty of
- gross misconduct. A governor's main job is to maintain order.
-
- He is evidently pursuing this tactic to make the voters angry, as I
- am--- angry enough that many of them will vote for his "welfare
- reform" "initiative" that will give him almost dictatorial
- budget-making powers at the expense of the legislature.
-
- I think we angry voters should be able to have another alternative.
- Perhaps we could have an initiative to put the onus on the governor to
- submit an acceptable budget by a certain date, with the penalty being
- loss of his job.
-
- Otherwise, just recall the turkey right now.
-
- the thing that makes me _really_ mad is that the fight is apparently
- of whether to just _murder_ education, as the legislature wants, or to
- _grossly_murder_ it.
-
- This is simply impossible to understand. Education has been on the
- defensive in California since Reagan was elected governor. When are
- Californians going to wake up and realize that the economic well-being
- of their state depends on having educated citizens. Californians must
- have a death wish. Looks like they're getting their wish.
-
- sheesh.
-
- (this is all my opinion, not my employers, of course)
