4. Well, Charlie is the one that worries me.

I mean trust has no place with them. My primary concern with the Munger law is what it forbids. And I'm leery of further tying the legislatures hands with money, and I'm leery of laws that forbid other changes in the same area too, education here.

But OTOH I am quite dissatisfied with Jerry's prop, much too timid for me, pretty much a status quo option, the schools stay bad, tax law is not changed much or for long, keeping the old game alive, the basic inadequate funding regime continues; and I am really sick of Sacramento threatening public services to get people to vote for bad laws, that's how we got here, that's the corporate "don't tax me Bro, I'm special" game too.

One of the reasons I have to read the text of the laws is because the devil will be in the details with both.

Thanks for your comments. I'll comment further here when I've read them both. Mayber we can work out a consensus.
