>In his new budget plan, which would need approval from the Legislature to be enacted, Schwarzenegger would ask voters for approval to borrow $15 billion over three years against future profits from the state lottery.
IOW, its illegal to steal money from this tax fund to pay for unrelated shortfalls.
>The governor wants lawmakers to agree that if the electorate were to reject that idea in November, the state’s sales tax would automatically rise by 1 percentage point.
This blackmail would be more legal with a gun, folks.
>The sales tax could remain in effect for as long as three years unless the state’s financial balance was restored

We’re still paying 1/4 percent sales tax for the San Francisco earthquake. It was supposed to last only to the end of that year.
What was that 15 or so years ago?
