I tend to vote no on propositions, and Prop 25 was no exception. I realize it will likely pass, but I agree with the above comments that it won’t make much difference in the big picture, since Calif is beyond broke, and the unions will not be able to sustain the pension gravy train even if the jacked the top tax rate to 100%
The only propositions that got my yes vote this time around were Prop 19 and Prop 23.
Prop 19 is a no-brainer for me. This “war on certain drugs but not other drugs” has to end.
I was on the fence about Prop 23 until I read an interview of one of the local VC billionaires who is gung ho on AB32 in order to redistribute a big chunk of CA tax (and borrowed) money into his own pocket. It’s bad enough that CA redistributes my income to pay for $400K a year stress 50% tax free lifetime disability pensions for police chiefs that are not disabled, but redistributing it to billionare venture capitalists is beyond the pale.
