Weintraub on How Not to Spend $1.5 Million

Recently liberated the Capitol Alert firewall, Daniel Weintraub questions Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner's decision to throw $1.5 million into the No on Prop 93 campaign. Says Weintraub:

"I wish I had Steve Poizner's money. If I did, I bet I could find something better to spent $1.5 mil of it on than trying to kill Prop. 93, the legislative leaders' attempt to change term limits in California.

I know I'm supposed to be real agitated that the proposal would allow assembly members to serve 12 years rather than six, and senators to serve 12 years rather than 8, and it even applies to lawmakers already serving. But to me it's a big yawn. I don't think it makes much of a difference either way. Once this crew washes out, the new members will serve a maximum of 12 years rather than the current 14, and they can serve it all in one house or the other. Is that going to change the world? I doubt it."

Good to have you back, Dan.
