In California we have a similar system. People put on the ballot like issue bonds to build water projects. The problem is they already should be installing water projects. Thus, people says yes since they don't have to pay for it. Furthermore the ballot measures are carefully screened. You won't find any like ending the sales tax.

The real scary one is prop 47. Where you can steal $999 and it counts as a misdemeanor. And since there is jail overcrowding they just let hard criminals go and they won't use private prisons they would rather just see the murder and aggravated assault rates rise. Liberals think criminals are being abused by government and the police.
