California Voters Voice Outrage

The results are finalized in California, and taxpayers finally took a stand. Propositions 1A through 1E were soundly defeated last night.  [...] Proposition 1F was the only measure to pass. It imposed a weak limit on pay raises for legislators, theoretically disallowing them during budget deficit years. Regardless of its actual teeth, the results show true populist outrage in California: The measure passed by a resounding 74-26.

The pro-tax people, including unions and Hollywood studios, spent about $30 million in favor or Props 1A - 1E, outspending the opponents by an order of magnitude.  They lost across the board.  Now, the State will threaten to cut things that people care about (schools and police) to punish the voters.  The Governator will ask Obama to bail out California.  If Obama decides that California is too big to pay its own way, we're all in trouble.  But it would be kind of funny to see Obama try to fire Schwarzenegger.
