None of the big unsustainable pension increases involved ballot measures, as far as I know. The unions are the biggest spenders in California election and incumbency is rampant even when the state is going down the tubes.

Then tell your local officials to grow a backbone.

If incumbency is rampant, that's a structural problem with your redistricting process, not the unions.

If BigCo Inc is allowed to spend a ton of money in elections, why can't the unions?
