I got it wrong Prop 13 did not mandate 2/3 budget vote

The North County Times contains an editorial in support of retaining the two thirds vote to pass a California Budget. In the editorial they reference the law that established the requirement. It was not Prop 13 as I wrote in this blog. It was a much earlier law. More than thirty years prior to Prop 13. I had written the two thirds budget requirement was another Prop 13 legacy. Sorry for my error.

The NCTimes editorial is here:http://nctimes.com/articles/2009/02/26/opinion/editorials/z86ec3fee4c5858bb8825756600827bd3.txt

The actual language of Prop 13 is here: http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/.const/.article_13A

I still think we need to change the two thirds rule for passing a California State Budget to prevent a small minority of ANTI zealots from endlessly obstructing the passage best possible budget for the people of California.
