What's wrong with prop 31?
Transparency = good
Offsets for tax increases or revenue decreases sounds good too.
Publication of proposed laws at least three days before vote also sounds good.
Allows local governments to implement a law in their own way as long as it gets the same results: sounds good and bad. Good because it gives more powe to local government in how they use their resources, it could be bad because it creates various versions of the same law that could be different from county to county.
Requires review of state programs and setting performance goals: sounds good to me although I know it would cause an increase in administrative costs but if we have smarter programs wouldn't that be offset?
I also like the part where they set aside time to actually review all the programs. To me that would create a lot of debate and bring out better public knowledge.
I see some higher administrative costs but overall a lot more transparency and accountability.
What am I missing?
According the the proposition info there are no additional costs associated or which would be incurred with the implementation of this proposition if it passed. The only reason why some people would be against it is because they don't want the public to see how their money is being spent because then they could face the wrath of the voters.
