Prop. 39 on Bonds

* It distresses me to watch on TV Gov. Gray Davis and former Gov. Pete Wilson making statements designed to deceive the voters on Prop. 39. They fail to say that the main purpose for the initiative is to reduce the requirement for passage of school bonds from the constitutionally required 66% majority to a 55% majority. They only mention the latter, implying that it will make it tougher to pass, since 55% is more than 50%. I think it’s a shame and a crime that these two supposedly respected representatives of the people would deliberately do that.
