dweniusThe Governer-elect says he will "find the fat" in the state budget.
Hasn't he been paying attention? Thanks to our gee-golly wowsers, "vote yourself more bread and extra circuses", proposition based, power to the people legislative process, more than half of the budget must be spent. You can't trim those parts; the people voted it that way last year or the year before, or the decade before. the law is on the books and in the electoral record, and tough cookies, all you fiscal weenies. On the other hand, boy, won't we for sure have shiny new bridges/ballparks/caps on property taxes!

Don't get me wrong -- I love my friends there, and I know that SF and Berkeley and Marin voted my way but I can't help wanting to go down and hit people with crow bars until they bleed.
