I'd like to know if the $3500 and 76 signatures has been indexed for inflation and population, or has that been in effect since 1911?
Can you guess the first law that's going to be changed in California after the election? That's right, the recall law. I think it will still exist, but I bet the requirements to establish a recall and then get on the ballot get much tougher.
There are a lot of people in California for whom $3500 is a joke and 76 signatures are no problem. I'll bet a significant number of them get on the ballot just for fun and to make a place for themselves in history. I'll just guess and say the ballot will have 200 candidates.
Can you imagine? "Hi, I'm Ken300D and I'm running for governor. If I get elected, I'll repeal the tax on diesel fuel in California and eliminate all pollution standards on diesel automobiles. I support the lower greenhouse gas emissions that diesels contribute to our environment."
Somebody please vote for me.
