Should we allow the majority to rule on California's budget?

On the next Your Call, we continue our special California election series with a debate on Proposition 25: "the ballot measure that would lower the vote threshold down from 2/3, so that lawmakers could pass budgets with a simple majority." Why shouldn't the majority rule on the state budget? Join us live at 11 or send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. Why do some legislative decisions require supermajorities? And should passing the budget be one of them? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.

Guests:
Fred Glass, communications director for the California Federation of Teachers--Yes on 25

Loren Kaye, president of the California Foundation for Commerce and Education--No on 25

Bill Monning, State Assemblymember representing the 27th District
