"The Mind"

I concur with Warch, Jesse had only a couple of good impacts (I'm not going to include light rail, but that's between me and Warch). One of them was to mobilize a huge number of college students that hadn't previously voted that continue to vote in local elections. Other than that, yeah, he's basically a big prick. He always gave the impression that the political fights were personal ones and that the whole world didn't like him.
Actually, that would be an interesting political matchup: Arnie vs. Jesse. It would be sort of like 'The Running Man,' except with much better acting and an immeasurably better storyline.
A quick question for Cali residents: I heard that part of the big budget crunch is at least partially the result of a big spending referendum that the voters okay'ed not too long ago. Is this true? Or is the real problem the fact that Sacramento was hedging its spending based on projected corporate IT revenues that evaporated over the past couple of years.
Does anyone have any idea?
