Re Unless you like California status quo, reject Prop. 32 (Oct. 17): I was shocked that you described how much Gov. Gavin Newsom and the Legislature are eroding the quality of life of every Californian. It is simple: Their policies are never challenged — no matter how harmful economically — due to the single-party supermajority. A way forward is to vote for the alternative. Enough with the dysfunction: Vote to change the political status quo.
