I-601 As It Relates to I-695

greenspun.com : LUSENET : I-695 Thirty Dollar License Tab Initiative : One Thread

Here's another reason I voted for I-695. I just received a mailing from the Evergreen Freedom Foundation (EFF), and in it there was a December 1, 1999 Wall Street Journal article about I-601 written by the EFF President, Bob Williams. Anyone concerned about how money is spent by our State government should read this article. One main point is how some lawmakers are trying to put more programs in "off-budget", dedicated, funds, thereby circumventing the I-601 spending restrictions! Typical behavior by some of our elected officials! And this is the type of thing that motivates me to vote for initiatives like I-695. I'm not sure if this article is on the EFF web site, but if not you can probably request that they send it to you?

If you'd like more information on State government, etc., the Evergreen Freedom Foundation is a good place to start.
