Then your vote is wasted.


I just wanted to say that the basis of the lawsuits *is* legal!  It is
in the California State Constitution that the "COUNTIES shall provide
for the general health and wellfare of the people"  THIS IS A LEGAL
MANDATE for the counties to provide the services they do.  So, what 
Pete Wilson has done is *ues* a legal catch-22 and steal the money that
the counties use to fulfill their constitutional mandate.  He did
this because we passed a law forcing the State to fund schools, but
never passed a law saying that the State couldn't rob the Countys'
budgets....   I guess we'll have to do that, or more people will
die from lack of services.  And if you think the STATE will give
you better roads, police, fire, medical, health, parks, libraries,
etc., you're CRAZY!!   We had to FORCE them just to educate our 
kids!!!!  (prop 13)   A few years ago Pete Wilson said, "schools 
should close their libraries and use County libraries."  They did
that, now he's taking away the County libraries!!!  This is crazy.
