In the media coverage of the presidential election, one state that is unlikely to get much attention is California, which appears to be solidly in President Obama’s column. Yet that doesn’t mean that Golden State voters don’t face some important decisions on November 6. Two very different ballot measures will help determine the trajectory of government growth in California — and given California’s size and influence, potentially throughout the nation.
The opposing measures would either curb or bolster the political influence of California’s government employee unions, one of the state’s most powerful interests — which, like government unions elsewhere, constitute a permanent lobby for bigger government. As Manhattan Institute Senior Fellow Daniel DiSalvo notes in a new analysis of the measures and the current California political landscape, “California reformers face an outsize challenge. The state’s public-sector unions are among the most powerful in the country, and 57 percent of state and local workers belong to unions.” To Read More….
My Take - I say that you Californians should hang tough and defeat any effort to curtail union activity and pay increases. This is what you have preached to the nation for decades and this is what you have wanted all of this for decades; so I congratulate you for getting what you deserve! You will be an example to the nation.....no.....not just the nation......to the world! This way for years to come anyone in a leadership role who wishes to be successful will be able to look at California and just do the opposite. So keep the faith! The world is watching!
