My thoughts exactly. And I will give anyone long long long odds that it won't be cutting services OR tightening belts.

I may have missed but I believe CA voters still have to approve tax increases. The same voters who put Brown in turned down the increases on the '10 ballot.

Arnold increased withholding but that only front loaded revenues for the state. The final tax bill is the same. It's more of an "interest free loan" and didn't require voter consent.

There are temporary tax increases (sales tax?) set to expire, I believe, in 2011. Voters turned down extensions of those back in '09.

Will Brown be able to convince voters more taxation is needed?
