Hidden Under the Paperweight, July 23, 2009


The stack of links to articles on Proposition 13 and the two-thirds majority requirement is much larger than what was Under the Paperweight last week, and this LA Times article from Thursday, July 23, 2009 was filed somewhere else. This may have happened because the editorial was written by a Washington Post columnist who probably doesn’t live in California and has a perspective too far removed from that of California residents. He puts a Republican v. Democrat spin on California’s budget problems and decries the injustice of minority rule, even though the California constitution specifically protects a minority of at least 1/3 when it comes to budgets and taxes.
