'Yes' on Prop. 25 will solve a lot of problems: I was surprised to see a column by Zanku Armenian ("Think Again: Political irresponsibility," Sept. 21) and letter by Joy Lang ("Gatto needs to focus on the job," Sept. 22) both addressing the difficulty in passing a budget in California.
What was most surprising was that they both seemed to point the finger at the Legislature for the difficulty, without mentioning that there is a solution on the ballot for the coming election: Proposition 25.
Neither writer mentions that the whole difficulty started with the passage of Proposition 13 in 1978, which began the experiment with needing a two-thirds majority to pass a budget (and made it difficult to correct since it is a constitutional amendment).
