I doubt that our State government is able to keep costs of something like this sufficiently segregated that no general taxes are used. If nothing else, many bureaucrats spend part of their time=salary working on it. I'm glad that my tax burden is not as impacted as I feared. But I'm still angry because I have to listen to the ads and they are some of the most intolerant, one-sided, smug things I've ever heard. And they lie. -- Dave Close, Compata, Costa Mesa "Always" and "never" are two words you dhclose@alumni.caltech.edu should always remember never to use. dave@compata.ccss.com Wendell Johnson
