I don't admit that the public has a direct interest in setting fiscal policy. That is what our republican representatives do. Except, in California, they are prevented from doing anything useful by a) term limits and b) the constraints placed on governing by the imbecilic initiative process. I would vote on the initiatives that set the ground rules for governance -- things like redistricting. But the idea that modifying the state constitution as cheaply and easily as it can be modified would lead to better government, well … no.
