State legislator pay, 2011 (Proposition 25, 2010)

I hesitated to add this bit mainly, but something should be added about Chiang's interpretation of California Proposition 58 (2004) (a state balanced budget amendment) in connection with California Proposition 25 (2010). Chiang decided to force members of the California State Legislature to forfeit their pay as a result of his interpretation of the budget package passed (right or wrong.) It brought up some issues of separation of powers between the executive branch of California's government and the legislative branch. (The "separation information" is not appropriate in an article about Chiang, but his involvement in the issue is appropriate.) California State Senate President pro-tempore Darrell Steinberg also raised issues about California legislators voting for cuts simply to get paid and whether it was appropriate. (Again, not appropriate for an article about Chiang, but relevant to his involvement in the issue.) 69.107.75.205 (talk) 07:17, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Shoutout to whoever found John Chiang's ancestral homes

As a Taiwanese American whose dad is also from Pingtung, I appreciate whoever took the time to track down this man's Taiwanese roots. Southern Taiwan (and the existence of Hakka Taiwanese) does not get enough mention in our Taiwanese Americans' biographies.
