Are You Still Buying Democracy When Your Opponents Outspend You Two-to-One?

California's Proposition 23, which would overturn a set of anti-global warming laws in California, got a million in support from a subsidiary of the notorious Koch Industries, defilers of democracy (as well as larger donations from other oil-related companies). Meanwhile, environmentalist opponents have raised nearly $20 million to keep Cali's global warming measures intact, twice what proponents of the measure have given. Quotes, links, and details at my Southern California news and politics blog "City of Angles." David Koch is on the board of trustees of the Reason Foundation, which owns this website.

Ronald Bailey wrote back in July 2009 on the damage Cali's global warming laws will likely have on its economy.
