It's not news that California is way screwed up, but even so I was disappointed as an ex-Californie to hear that all eight ballot propositions up yesterday got a "no" vote.
This included four propositions to curb spending and the power of the public employees unions which Schwarzenegger was backing in an attempt to do an end run around the legislature. The unions out-spent the "yes" supporters by 50%, and a claiming a full victory in having routed all four.
Even more troubling, the state that won't allow school nurses to dispense Advil, and where students have been suspended for 'taking drugs' like asthma inhalers, feels that requiring that parents be notified before their under-age daughters get abortions would be an 'undue burden'. (Can the school nurse provide Advil to a girl after helping her get an abortion?) The parental notification initiative went down despite getting backing even from pro-choice politicians such as Schwarzenegger.
