[Online.WSJ] In approving a ballot measure sought by Gov.  Jerry Governor MoonbeamBrown ... those who ignore history are bound to repeat it ... to raise taxes for several years, Caliphornians took a step toward improving the state's fiscal situation and avoiding education cuts. According to the Caliphornia Secretary of State's website, 53.9% of voters backed the measure, Proposition 30, while 46.1% voted against it, with all votes counted except for provisional and some mailed-in ballots. The approval is a significant victory for Mr. Brown, a Democrat, who has staked his governorship on a campaign to raise taxes to ease the effects of the state's budget crunch.
