Proposition 82, the mandatory preschool/tax increase/help Las Vegas, Phoenix, and Denver initiative, fell to defeat yesterday. With almost every precinct reporting, 39.1% favored the proposition, but 60.9% opposed it. Californians even defeated a library bond initiative, 53.1% to 46.9%. That’s unusual because most bond measures are easily passed in the Golden State.
But we’re not through dealing with tax increases. In the Democratic primary, Phil “I want to increase your taxes” Angelides defeated Steve Westly and will oppose Governor Schwarzenegger in the November general election.
