Is it Time for a Constitutional Convention? San Diego News Room Reports

San Diego, Calif. (PRWEB) June 24, 2009

California’s list of crisis areas is growing longer: education, infrastructure, health care, prisons, water. A new budget crisis begins as soon as the last year’s ended. Many Californians believe enough is enough. Everyone agrees that our state government is broken—the overriding question seems to be, how do we fix it?

San Diego News Room covers in-depth political and governmental issues.

Those familiar with California’s constitution, the state’s overused initiative process, and the almost-predictable Legislative gridlock that occurs every budget cycle assert that something needs to change, and fast. San Diego News Room asked legal experts and legislators for their perspectives on what’s broken in the state government, and how Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and the Legislature should go about fixing it.
