Proposition 25 end run to increase taxes

Proposition 25 is not getting a lot of attention.
It allows for budgets to be passed by simple majority and provides legislature pay penalties for late budgets.
The proponents of the bill are touting it as a fix for the broken budget process and stressing the penalties for lawmakers if they miss their deadline.
Opponents point out that a simple majority passing the budget will allow the majority to insert tax increases into the budget as amendments or force increases through unfunded mandates.
The legislative analyst hasn't cleared the air as their interpretation focuses on the wording of the bill by stating that it does not "say" anything about increasing taxes within the budget and therefore does not have to be labeled as a vehicle for easing increases.

Unfortunately for California taxpayers, polling suggests they will vote for this pig.
