Big Biz folks detecting that some of the party hack super extremists in the CA legislature may/will get wiped out with a top 2 primary (or in the general election) ??? Duh.
P.R. and A.V. = REAL reforms.
NO primaries are needed.

Anyone who donates in favor of the “top two” proposition is a slimeball.
