Measure would destroy preschools already serving two-thirds of eligible children LOS ANGELES ? The Libertarian Party of California (LPC) adopted a resolution at its state convention this weekend opposing Proposition 82, the "California Preschool for All Act," and urges all Californians to vote against the measure. The resolution condemning Prop. 82 was passed unanimously. The delegates who voted

After a 3 month break from posting, I'm back to comment on the 2006 California Primary Election on June 6, 2006. I have a prelimary page up, and will be adding more. I will be covering the two propositions, prop 81 and prop 82, as well as the statewide primary races that will be on the ballot.

The Union Tribune remarks on new published reports that: The First 5 panel paid $206,000 to three political consultants to run the commission TV ad campaign. After Reiner's initiative qualified for the ballot, the TV ad campaign stopped ? with a final tab of $23 million ? and the consultants went to work for the campaign touting the initiative.This reeks. Of course there was a tight coordination

While not directly related to the California Special Election, John Stossel comments here on the McCain-Feingold Incumbent Protection Act. "I got elected. You may not criticize me."OK, the incumbents don't put it that way. They say: "There's too much money in politics! We need campaign finance reform."And they get it. "Reform" sounds good. McCain-Feingold and a host of state laws would protect us

the CoyoteBlog has a great article on the Perils of Prop 79. It turns out that the initiative contains a little-noticed provision that will allow private trial lawyers to sue drug companies for the new tort of "profiteering in prescription drugs."

California Director of Finance, Tom Campbell, reports why we need reform of the state's automatic spending formulaes that keep propelling spending above revenue. Even when we spend more than last year, the states employees unions call it a cut because the broken spending formulas say we should have spent even more.

New Poll shows a majority of California Voters Support Proposition 74, 76 & 77. A recent private poll, conducted by Governor Schwarzenegger's pollster McLaughlin & Associates, shows strong support for the Governor's reform agenda, which will appear on the November Special Election ballot.

The San Diego Union-Tribune has a great article "Governor has a crucial ally in Prop. 76 push" on Prop 76. The long-anticipated union campaign against Arnold Schwarzenegger's special election initiatives has kicked into gear in recent days with a gut punch of a TV ad campaign depicting the governor as the reckless enemy of cops, school kids, teachers, decency, the American way – you name it.
