Does California need a new constitution?

This story discussed the increased interest in updating California's constitution. About the only thing we can all agree on here is that the system is broken, but how can any citizen of this fine state trust a state politician to do the right thing here. Note that this is a state that has increased spending over the decade at a rate well above the inflation and population growth rate and yet has completely failed to provide its citizens with any significant improvements to their way of life.
The saddest part is that there is no obvious place to start to work for real reform. Certainly not with either party, one of which has orchestrated this mess (Dems have run the state for decades) and the other of which is more concerned with gay marriage and abortions than about the stuff that really matters in government. What a shame!
