California will suck until it gives up its system of referendums and propositions. It makes it too easy for monied interests to subvert the legislature (which is ironic considering the original purpose of the system.) Also, redscare is right about the police and prison guard unions. They really are too powerful, and their influence can be felt in many things from the overcrowded prisons to three strikes laws to increased funding for cops which usually goes towards militarization and larger SWAT teams. Also the incredible pension deals they get squeeze out most other funding and act as a sort of hidden austerity program for other parts of the budget like infrastructure, education and health. Finally, Cal-Mex is poo poo, Tex-Mex is the one true Mexican American cuisine.
