The path to the June 7th special election in California proposed by Governor Jerry Brown has become less clear following a list of 53 Republican policy demands delivered to the Democratic controlled State Legislature. Included in the Republican demands were limiting teacher tenure and reconfiguring the current public employee pension system in order to place more of the financial risk on the recipients through a traditional 401(k) system. Gov. Brown was hoping for Republican support for his plan to allow Californians to vote on a $9.3 billion tax referendum in the form of extensions to sales, income, and vehicle-tax increases set to expire at the end of June. The five-year extension is an essential aspect to the governor\u2019s plan for closing the $15 billion budget gap; without the extension he has warned of more extensive cuts to services including education and public safety. Summing up the Democrats’ disappointment, a Brown spokesman said, \u201cYou can\u2019t expect to ram through a complete agenda as a minority party when all the governor is doing is asking to give the people the right to vote. Any reasonable person knows you can\u2019t get 53 things for the price of one.\u201d According to Bloomberg.com county clerks have indicated that the governor is running out of time. And most say that a period of 88 days is needed to prepare a special election in compliance with state law, which would work out to an end-of-June election only if a deal was struck immediately. Alternative options for the special election include collecting signatures for a November election or moving ahead in June without the Republican minority. <\/p>\n
