ballot proposition to decrease state worker’s pay?

[TheBreeze]

What does it take to get a proposition on the ballot? I’d like to see a proposition that says something like the following:

“The California State Government shall annually reduce the pay of every state employee and contractor, who makes more than $40,000, by a percentage that would result in a balanced budget for the state.”

What would be needed to get this on the ballot? Do you just need to get a petition with enough signatures? Would this proposition be legal/constitutional?

I support that kind of proposition if we get non tax paying children out of our schools. This kind of fraud is extremely costly to all Callifornia taxpayers. These children live in Mexico with their parents and pay no taxes, yet use our public schools for free. No these are not illegal aliens or children of illegals. These are Mexican nationals who register their children using their relative’s address to establish residency. Welfare should be eliminated for all except for severely disabled. Public employees are not to blame for the entire budget crisis. Yes, some of their retirements are ridiculous, especially when you look at CHP commissioners who develop a disability their last year in office and retire tax free for life! The public employees are not the only ones feeding at the trough. There is plenty of blame to spread around.

Aecetia, I don’t see how the legals/illegals have anything to do with the state budget.

The state has only x amount of money and can only spend x amount. The classrooms will be bigger if we cut school budgets.

The government’s budget needs to be cut to bring it back into balance first.

The other social issues come later.

Because schools are largely funded based on enrollment and attendance numbers.
