From what I’m reading, anger about the gas tax hike isn’t limited t9 Republicans.

Not to mention that this gas tax is also bringing about a wave of ridiculous ballot initiatives to handicap the legislature's ability to govern in regards to taxes. Who knew that the CAGOP, almost completely powerless on any standard level, would still find a way to obstruct the lawmaking process. Lowering taxes and obstructing government is pretty much the only thing Republicans can do, and damn do they do it well.

At any rate, maybe it's time CA stops requiring a special blend of gasoline and makes other efforts to bring down gas prices. There has to be some give and take on this. If major infrastructure funding is needed, you can't just keep inflating gas prices via regulations and taxes without respite. The people will eventually get pissed off, as they are doing now, and it might just lead to incredibly boneheaded ballot initiatives that lawmakers will be dealing with for decades.

Glad to be of service.   Guess we are good at forcing up your blood pressure, too.

I'm not from California, so it doesn't bother me quite the same way. I just think all these restrictions on the legislature is pretty stupid. They already require a 2/3rds majority to pass new taxes. That is already a significant hurdle.

Interesting though to see you lending credence to the idea that all modern conservatism is anymore is trolling people they disagree with.

Why on earth did you have to tell him? He could have found it for himself.

No need to be so antagonistic over linking someone to election results.

I am irritated by a low quality poster usurping what was once a good special elections thread, and wish people would not help him pollute the neighborhood.

Arthur continues to hold her lead with 7 precincts reporting. Hard to know what is reporting first, though I definitely like where she is at.

She actually slightly expanded it in fact. I'm waiting until about 40% reporting or so to really say anything though.

Unless all the precincts reported are the most democratic in the district, Corlew (R) is f**ked.

Yeah, I agree that it is not a good idea to jump the gun, but... 4 more precincts came in, and she is basically holding her ground. Not a lot of places in this district are super democratic.

Not even remotely true. MO SD-17 was a 49-45 Trump seat that Kander and Koster won.

As usual, marty has no idea what he is talking about.

Edit: I did the calculations by hand so I think I know what I am talking about here bub.
