Incredibly, the voting citizens of San Diego and San Jose, the state’s second and third largest cities, overwhelmingly voted to cut pension benefits to city workers in the election yesterday. In San Diego the vote was 68% to 32% and in San Jose 71% to 29%! Those numbers are truly shocking.
I like to cut California up here on the blog because they are such an easy target. But if the citizens of the state are starting to wake up and are making excellent decisions like this, I’ll have to start picking on France!
