The
California state legislature has initiated pension reform. Like Governor Brown,
I am displeased that the legislature failed to pass budget reform to curtail
health care costs.
Still the public sector unions do not negotiate with the taxpayers for pay raises. They can still promote politicians who will provide higher salaries, benefits, and pensions, while those who are paying for these lavish payouts have no say in the accounts, the accountability, or the final count on how the money is allocated.
Prop 32 will have to finish the job that the state legislature has begun. The public sector unions have an automatic purse from their own employees, who have to contribute union dues every year, and their monies fund candidates and causes of the union leadership's choosing, whether the employees support the same or not. This abuse of the individual's paycheck must end, and Prop 32 will make that happen.
