We'll forgive you ;-)
Yeah, that obviously worked out really well. (NAAAAAAAHT!)
But the problems with state government in California go way beyond the governor's office. The two-thirds vote required to pass anything having to do with spending, including each year's state budget, allows a small fringe bloc to gridlock the state each and every year. And the over-reliance on ballot initiatives to shape state laws is a total farce.
