Prop 5 should be a beginning, not an end

The defeat of Prop 5 does not mean that voters don't care about education.

It simply means there are limits to what taxpayers are willing to spend, and that they do consider what their money is being spent on.

The whole campaign on Prop 5 did a good job of educating the public, and hopefully we won't lose the momentum the debate generated.

I expand on those thoughts here:
