YES on HH to Raise Berkeley's spending limit

It is really dumb that we have to vote on this. If a city spends more money than in 1986-87 (adjusted for inflation), then every four years we have to vote to allow the city to keep spending money, even if that increase is because we voted for tax increases in the meantime. You can thank the #%$$%# Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association for this stupid waste of time and resources.

BTW - look at the names of the people who signed the argument opposing HH. Now look at the arguments against FF and GG and for KK - many of the same folks. It seems like they're big fans of Howard Jarvis and Prop 13, the forces who have helped cripple our state budgeting process and thus our cities' and schools' budgets.
