Discussion of California Ballot Initiatives

[NirvanaMan]

The only one I really cared much about was 91. Money for transportation is continually pilfered by the government for non-related spend after initiatives are passed by the electorate with the specific goal of improving transportation and highway initiatives in the state.

I really believe one of the only purposes of goverment is to develop and maintain public infrastructure, specifically roads and highway systems. It is essential to retain those dollars for those purposes. It is also a key concern of many voters in CA so they are willing to pony up a couple extra bucks as traffic continues to be such an issue, especially in LA. It is misleading and downright criminal to then divert said resources into something else be it education or some pork barrel initiative.
