No.  We elected Arnold Schwarzenegger to a regular term.  I say this because he won a special re-call election two years ago. \n\nHe beat his opponent, State Treasurer, Phill Angelides by about 16 points.

San Francisco.\n\n1) San Fransisco would offer health care to any adult resident, regardless of immigration or employment status, under a plan announced Tuesday.\n\n2) San Francisco's Board of Supervisors passed a resolution Tuesday committing the city to offering legal aid and other assistance to illegal immigrants who could face criminal charges under proposed federal legislation\n\n3) The San Francisco Board of Education appears poised to kick the military's Junior ROTC programs out of the city's public schools, saying the Pentagon's refusal to allow openly gay service members is deplorable and not in line with the school district's anti-discrimination policy.\n\n4) San Francisco Votes to Ban USS Iowa - The San Francisco Board of Supervisors today voted 3-8 against a resolution urging the San Francisco Congressional Delegation to support the permanent berthing of the USS Iowa as a museum at the Port of San Francisco.\n\nSupervisor Tom Ammiano said today he didn't want the ship berthed in San Francisco because of the military's treatment of gays and lesbians and its "don't ask, don't tell'' policy.\n\n"It's dehumanizing,'' Ammiano said. "You are not allowed to be a gay or lesbian in the military except when there is a war and then when the war ends, you are kicked out.''\n\nSupervisors Ross Mirkarimi and Chris Daly also spoke out against the resolution, citing their opposition to the US occupation in Iraq.\n\n"I am sad to say I am not proud of the history of the United States of America since the 1940s,'' Daly said.

MI is pretty bad off  BUT  Kentucky has seen the largest budget shortfall in its history as of yet.  Only last month did they finally balance a budget and cut almost every program by 20% to get it done.  Of course there is California which actually had a county (orange) declare bunkrupcy!

The University of California Berkeley did a study on the subject.  I think it was in 2004 or 2005.

The Native American argument is so tired... Yawn!\n\nYes, I hear you... and it's just the beginning.  If illegals are given amnesty, there will be an inflow of another 50-100 thousand more of their family members.  As a resident of California, I can't even imagine what that will do to this state.

Good question.  The text of the proposition itself does not make any mention of the specific percentage of California state revenues that must go to education (the act provides for monies to go to school districts and community college districts).  Rather, there is a formula:\n\n"SECTION 8. School Funding Priority\n\n(a) From all state revenues there shall first be set apart the monies to be applied by the state for support of the public school system and public institutions of higher education.\n\n(b) Commencing with the 1988-89 fiscal year, the monies to be applied by the state for the support of school districts and community college districts shall be not less than the greater of:\n\n(1) The amount which, as a percentage of the State General Fund revenues which may be appropriated pursuant to Article XIIIB, equals the percentage of such State General Fund revenues appropriated for school districts and community college districts, respectively, in fiscal year 1986-87; or\n\n(2) The amount required to ensure that the total allocations to school districts and community college districts from the State General Fund proceeds of taxes appropriated pursuant to Article XIIIB and allocated local proceeds of taxes shall not be less than the total amount from these sources in the prior year, adjusted for increases in enrollment, and adjusted for changes in the cost of living pursuant to the provisions of Article XIIIB.\n\n(c) The provisions of subdivision (b) of this Section may be suspended for one year by the enactment of an urgency statute pursuant to Section 8 of Article IV, provided that no urgency statute enacted under this subdivision, may be made part of or included within any bill enacted pursuant to Section 12 of Article IV."\n\nA look at newspaper articles published since the passage of Proposition 98 indicate that the percentage fluctuates with state revenue (e.g. in 1997 then Governor Pete Wilson maintained that Proposition 98 mandated that 60% of all spending go to schools -- see San Jose Mercury, 1/13/97).  Also, in an editorial on 4/28/97 the L.A. Daily News highlights how school spending can decline precipitously during economic downturns.

I think the problem that some people are referring to in regards to Proposition 87 (I'm assuming you're another Californian) is that there is nothing in the measure that says the researchers have to come up with any research, ideas, programs, or anything else as a result of the money that they're granted.  Obviously, this is an understandable provision for a scientific project, but considering the amount of money that would be put into it, the lack of acccountability can make some voters nervous.  Other problems: the extra money oil companies must pay, no matter how we legislate against it, will probably get passed down to consumers at the pump, and companies may even be driven out of the state.\n\nThat's all just to play devil's advocate, of course.  I'm seventeen, not legally allowed to vote, and don't have much of an opinion on this one.  We'll see how it goes.

Real Estate is predicted to decline by 5% in the next year in California. I just heard that report this morning.

gsschulte's answer is actually incorrect.  California, like every other state, has 2 SENATORS.  We have 53 representatives in the House.\n\n(And California actually gets 55 electoral votes.)
