I really don't know if ballot initiatives are the best way to run a state government. Fine, have Old Man Rivers run his mouth at a town council meeting about loud garbage trucks and those darn- fangled neighborhood kids, but elected officials should keep him away from the budget.
I can't believe I've never heard of the Cow Palace until I watched this.
Because NYC is for the really young and the really rich. And LA is for those really good at faking both.
