School bonds: if this is the Year of Education, how did the California building industry manage to become the 800-pound gorilla that wagged the dog, and brought the Legislature to heel on school construction?

Article Abstract:

Recent developments in California's school construction activities point to the lobbying clout that the building industry wields over the state Legislature. Democrats and Republicans alike have at certain points supported profit enhancements for developers. For three times since 1996, the builders' lobby has prevailed over legislative proposals for a school bond bill. Meanwhile, although Proposition 1A has been touted as the most progressive school bond in California history, the proposition contains provisions that will translate to greater financial windfall for developers.
