If you look for facts about California’s initiative process, you sometimes find them

Bob Englehart of the Hartford Courant has a funny cartoon today. It shows California tied in a knot and says Connecticut voters reject calls for initiative rights because it was the initiative that got the Golden State all screwed up. It’s funny because it is just so wrong: Bob really should have done his homework before he penned it. If he had, he would know that California’s initiative process isn’t to blame for the state’s budget and governance woes.
