RCG: Reengineering California Governance



Inspired by my hero Dan Walters, I've embarked on a quixotic quest to reform California governance. I figure there's three things that need to happen:

A. Electoral reform based on Proportional Representation and Condorcet winners

B. Fiscal reform where different levels of government are rewarding for creating value (i.e., sane taxation)

C. Lobbying reform based on the idea of real-time transparency and individual accountability

I've started by getting my electoral reform proposal reviewed by the election-methods mailing list. At some point I need to do more research on, and connect with, other Californians pursuing this vision (I'm ambivalent about the Center for Voting and Democracy because of their IRV bias, but at some point I'll probably need to make peace with them). I'll try to update this article as I learn more.
