Governor Moonbeam knows he cant balance the California budget given all the special interest influence. His only choices are to tax more or spend less. Public employee unions and those residents of California receiving the largesse will fight tooth and nail to raise taxes to keep their personal gravy train rolling. The solution he suggested on TV a couple of nights ago is to refer the budget options to the voters. Its safe to assume the benefactors of the state largesse will vote for more taxes, sending the state further down the toilet, and Moonbeam dodges the bullet since he can say the voters made the choice. Unfortunately those paying the taxes in California are now a minority and are becoming more so as the taxpayers leave the state.
1. Jerry Brown has been working with the Dems in State houses to rewrite the meaning of Prop 13 so they plan to jack both Residential and Commercial property taxes thru the ROOF.
2. Mark Leno's SB 810 bill which was vetoed twice will be rammed thru and Brown will sign it and the Dems can eliminate all private health insurance and hire a whole new sea of SEIU nutters to control all CA residence health-care and a whole new sea of taxes to finance it.
Remember the State Budget does not need 2/3 vote to pass anymore !!!
