Should out of state companies be able to bank-roll in-state initiatives?
http://www.sacbee.com/static/weblogs/capitolalertlatest/2010/03/the-war-to-dera.html
So I was reading about the movement to repeal AB 32 from today's SacBee (see the link above), and while the article semi-asks the question, it led me to more openly wonder: should out of state funds be used to bank-roll an in-state initiative?
Why should any other state have a say in how CA regulates its environment (or anything else for that matter?) This isn't the only instance - Prop 8 received significant funding from non-CA citizens... isn't the point of the initiative system to have a vehicle for CA residents to embody in law something that the legislature can't or won't do because it is not in the legislature's best interests? I think of campaign finance reform or term limits or gerrymandering - we the people might want this but the lawmakers won't act on it because it limits their own power. So we have a way to do it - the ballot initiative system.
But is our vehicle being driven by someone else? And why should we let Texas or Utah or any other state have a major say in how we run our state?
