The problems with California are not just at the state level it is also at the county and city level. In most cases Citys and Counties have spent money on stadiums, ice rinks, and other BS, like they though the money would just keep flowing. And now that it is drying up they are still trying to keep the BS going by cutting Police, Fire, and other basic function areas.

BINGO!!!! This state IS in serious financial straits all the way around gubamint-wise.

Politicos and their contributors who blindly spent like crazy are now asking the taxpayers to bail them out once again.

Of course, scare tactics are the order of the day and will be used ad nauseum to "address" the issues that now face this state at all levels of government.

Spending OPM's money is so easy..

Before you know it, we will all hear the sucking sounds of black holes in our wallets and check books .. placed there by those entrusted to govern in a prudent manner, but who, in the end, could care less who ends up paying for their incompetence and greed.
