well, Darrel, there is quite a lot of news that it was essentially “shot down in flames” — 59% no… pretty strong, especially given the amount of money that went in to try to convince the public it would hurt them

Unfortunate that this clear vision of the future was so lacking in the general results of the mid-term elections. This type of legislation will result in California being a “have” state and the naysayers being states with their hands out. Puts to death the old saw that California is the granola state, full of fruits, flakes and nuts. Now it’s the states with repressive, old-school, dirty energy republicans that have the flakes and nuts.

I note the use of the phrase “shot down in flames”. While I am pleased that prop 23 was defeated, I suspect hyperbole, as you don’t provide a vote count to substantiate your language.
