The reason we have propositions is because our legislature has hijacked our state. They have gerrymandered the districts in a way that makes them impervious to the popular will.
As far as reading "I'm glad they're all dead" I just don't understand this line of reasoning.
I never heard a well reasoned argument against Prop 75, that would have required public employee unions to ask members for permission before collecting money for political purposes. I heard nothing but emotion ridden tripe. Nothing but scare tactics from the unions. The "reasonable" argument came in the form of "Well, since the big evil corporations can use shareholder money..." which is just a non sequitur.
And prop 74? Why do high school teachers have tenure in the first place? I don't see high school teachers taking the unpopular stands that college profs sometimes need to take. The teacher's union just uses it as a shield for the incompetent.
