dk@crl.com (David A. Kaye) quotes Maurice E. Suhre (suhre@kaiwan.com):

: Prop 13 is clearly imperfect, which may point out a defect in the
: initiative system.  OTOH, without the initiate system, nothing would
: have been changed.

and adds:

> And what HAS changed?  Roads are in worse condition, school
> teachers have to go to garage sales [blah blah blah].
