Good enough won't do

This isn't the first editorial I've read about one of Arnold's initiatives saying, essentially, "It's not perfect, but it's a start" (scroll to the bottom, after you read the L.A. Times give Arnold a pass on conserving fuel because he's a big man). One of my problems with this argument is that close simply isn't enough with a lot of these issues.

An imperfect reapportionment? We already have that in California. We don't need to slap a few band-aids on it and then have everyone consider it fixed. Because there will still be problems with the new system as well. Politicians are still in charge, essentially picking a middle man to draw districts for them. Going from one broken system to another broken system isn't a great idea at all.

One thing to remember, California, as you gear up to vote, is that all these changes, from Prop 74 to Prop 80 are intended to alter the state constitution. While some of these proposals, with more work and leadership, could be palatable to the public, these are changes that should be made to the law books, and not the guiding document of the state.
