I put that question to Finance Director Tom Campbell this week.

His answer was direct: The money will come from borrowing -- not just money for bridges and roads, but also money for school programs and other services.

Ping!

Even with the $15 billion in debt-repayment bonds voters approved last year, Campbell believes California still has more room to borrow. Debt service, now at just under 5 percent of the budget, could safely go to 6 percent, he believes.

Cut up the credit cards? Hell, we're not maxed out yet!
