Didn’t they kill agriculture when they shut the water to the Central Valley off? All in service of the Delta Smelt and 23 trout.
And the state is currently under severe water restriction. Like crazy severe. Don’t plan on taking a shower and doing your laundry on the same day. And the restrictions are progressive (see what I did there?), they will keep getting worse.
I’m always amazed that Prop 13 hasn’t been repealed yet. That would obliterate a lot of people, especially seniors.
We are so grateful that we fled in 2015. It comes up almost daily.
Calipornia’s recent millionaire tax has driven out 183 millionaires as of last week. States, county, city, and special district taxes aare raised and imposed with no consideration of the total burden on the taxpayer. Cali’s whole year tax for partial year residency is now before the courts and is expected to be declared illegal. The same will occur to any concieved ‘exit’ tax as it generally creates conditions of ‘servitude’ which is illegal. It literally imposes serfdom on those subject to such taxes.
Cali has already crossed the financial suicide line and it is just a matter of time until the panic starts. Once the panic does start the whole states financial edifice will crumble overnite.
