With $60 billion of tax-increase proposals currently pending in the legislature, Prop 56's passage would wreak havoc on any economic recovery the governor hopes to generate.

$60,000,000,000??? Will they EVER get the message?

M. David Sterling should have been Attorney General of CA instead of that dork we have now!!! He can sure compose one heck of a truthful, powerful article!!!

"Of greater concern, the respected, nonpartisan state legislative analyst Elizabeth Hill, the legislature's top budget adviser, cautioned that, with bonds, "future taxpayers will be paying for past spending." "Borrowing," she warned, "fails to address the underlying problem the state of California is facing." Hill urged the painful, but only true solution to that problem: "Bring current law expenditures and current revenues into line." Several conservative Republican legislators have indicated their firm opposition to the use of bonds for the same reasons. And now, for purely political reasons, some Democratic legislators are openly expressing their opposition to the March-ballot bond measure, despite having voted for it just a few short weeks ago."

Mr. Governator... Please Don't fall further into this tormenting trap!
