posted by Rob Gurwitt
That's the title of an excellent rundown exploring that question by Jerry Roberts and Phil Trounstine, former high-profile political editors at the San Francisco Chronicle and San Jose Mercury-News who now blog at Calbuzz.
First on their list of "six key factors that have made California impossible to govern"? Prop. 13. If you've been looking for a handy way of understanding where the dross came from in the Golden State, this is it.
Written and compiled by staff writers and editors, GOVERNING View is an on-the-ground, and sometimes behind-the-scenes, look at the topics we're covering in print and online. From notes on what's up in statehouses, county courthouses and city halls, to encounters with people, places and things, GOVERNING View is a window into the side of state and local government you don't always see.
