No on Proposition 76

Also known as the Arnie Empowerment Act, Prop 76 seeks to limit state budgets by use of an arbitrary formula, while at the same time giving the Governator carte blanche to cut what he wishes where he wishes.

Proponents will try to portray this measure as an attempt to accomplish the laudable goal of balancing the state's budget. Unfortunately it says nothing about balance, but instead just channels the perpetual Republican wet dream of reducing government to the point it virtually disappears.

You'll note how well this has worked out on the national level.
