Regarding Ed Kahl’s letter “Newsom’s over budget estimation,” (weekend edition), his idea of saving the state is to bring back the Republican Party. Here’s a novel idea: How about every political party in California that has ballot access has a seat at the table? You know, like a Parliament? Because not everyone in California is a Democrat or Republican.
More voices, more ideas and more solutions can only improve the state, not the same stale old ideas and solutions that benefit the corporations or the donors of these political “representatives.”
All voices should be welcome but the reality is we have a two party system. You need each party to come in and clean out the corruption and mis-management of the other party. Democrats have been in way too long and arena leading us into a financial crisis.

Thanks for your letter, Ms. Marcopulos, but don’t we already have a method for folks to get a seat at the table? Get elected?
