I don't even know where to begin, but I have to know, do you even live in this state? If not, then you have proven it by your idiotic comments.
Teachers too hard to get rid of. pfft, with the shitty wages they pay them, they are lucky any stick around. He wanted to make it easier to fire them, fuck him.
As far as the unions go, all he wanted to do was keep the unions from being able to apply political pressure.
He called for this special election because he would not work with elected officials, and he thought he could smile and sway the people of CA once again.
Fortunately, the people of CA either weren't going to be fooled twice (like they were when they elected him), or they did not bother to vote (I have not heard the turnout numbers yet).
When a governor forces a special election to deal with 4 constitutional changes that no one wanted, there is no question that this was a power play, just like him making passes at chicks.
