Every time an election rolls around, we Californians  face a new stack of propositions. They sound enticing to the naked ear but have a lot of hidden consequences. That fine print often carves out set-asides for special interests at the expense of taxpayers and public services.
Such is the case with Proposition 22, [...]]]></description>

By voting &#8220;yes&#8221; on Proposition 22 on Nov. 2, voters can stop state politicians from raiding local taxpayer funds that should be used at the local level for vital local services like emergency 911 response, police departments, fire departments, libraries, parks, and transportation improvements.
For years, Sacramento politicians have used loopholes in the law [...]]]></description>

We all love our parks, but parks aren&#8217;t really what this initiative is about.
This is about ballot-box budgeting, plain and simple, which allows Sacramento lawmakers to continue the fiscal shell game they are playing with voters. It tests us to see just how far they can go before we cry &#8220;uncle.&#8221;

California&#8217;s legislators talk a good game about saving taxpayer money. But handed a common-sense chance to do just that, they have completely flubbed it.

In the late 1960s the average depth of clarity at Lake Tahoe was measured at more than 100 feet. Lake clarity, like a person’s temperature, is a sign of the health of the lake. A change in a person’s temperature signals a health problem, but it does not tell you what is causing [...]]]></description>
