Lots of expenses have been postponed, but that's due to government mismanagement like you said, not due to Prop. 13. Every single time the state gets a surge in revenues, it mishandles the money and grows unnecessary bureaucracy. It happened while Ah-nuld was in power, it happened while Davis was in power, and it probably happened before that as well. I won't argue the point.......my position is not the popular one. Its so much easier to say its all the gov't's fault. I can understand if Prop. 13 caused those revenues to be unpredictable or erratic, but hey, aren't our government leaders supposed to know how to deal with that? Kind of chickens--t to blame the average taxpayer for wanting a steadier tax burden. It was greed......pure and simple....lower property taxes for everyone across the board. Yahoo! Your crowd got their way and now you're seeing the consequences but of course, you don't see it so the point is lost. You're seeing the same thing on the federal level but again, you refuse to see it. Its why your ideology is so dangerous.
