re: #283 EPR-radar

Please. Taxation and the budget are precisely the things that have been most notoriously broken in CA for many years. The recent loss of the GOP minority veto in these areas is the only reason we’re seeing any progress at all in the last year or so.

Can you claim with a straight face that Gov. Brown’s fiscal proposals would not have been vetoed by the GOP if they had the power to do so, simply because a Democrat was making the proposals?

No. But… So? That’s all well beside the point I made. This is not about GOP behavior, or the last few years. The recession was in charge of fiscal policy there for a couple years.

It’s about who has been in charge in the legislature by any fair measure and for how long. Like since 1970. Current GOP misbehavior has nothing to do with anything until well, recently.
