Which state is the best in which to live with respect to:
1. Small gov’t (Red)
2. Strong economy
3. Good environment (parks, hiking, water sports)
4. Good education system
5. Conservative majority (not too many libs, just enough to make good coffee, health food, and interior decorating)
I’m a small business owner and this is the first I’ve heard of this.
Until the State send me a new witholding chart I’m using the old one.
Which brings up a point.
What is it going to cost the State to mail out new witholding charts to employers?
"California will probably continue to collect the tax at a higher rate for many years -- or find an additional $1.7 billion to slice from a future budget, an unlikely occurrence."
This is from a $92 billion budget so this would be a 1.85% cut and they can't do it?!?! You have $10 and they can't cut 18 cents out of it! AND this is on top of a statewide (TEMPORARY) 1% increase in the sales tax started in April?
If I were Obama, I would pass on photo-ops with the Gubernator. Yes, I know that Ahrnold is at the mercy of an overwhelming Dimocrat State Legislature but he has got the bag and he failed. When he got in after Grey Davis, he should have made each and every one of their spending bills a nightmare. However, I guess that might have made for a 'cold shower' with his Kennedy in-laws and no reelection the last time. No wonder Mayor Newsome of NancyP's home town of Babylon-by-the-Bay has bowed out, California needs a total cleaning and so long as they keep electing these spend-a-holics, tain't gonna happen!
Unless, of course, California does not have the money for the 2009 refunds and has to issue those IOUs like it tried to do last spring.
California to Issue IOUs for Income Tax Refunds, Might Nix CAL Grants for Students
Outright theft, pure and simple.
