More cognitive dissonance from the state that brought us Ronald Reagan and Jerry Brown.

"... rejecting both service cuts or tax increases ..."


Well, boo-frickin'- hoo - maybe the Tooth Fairy will make everything all better. Talk about denial. Thank you American public schools and parents who raised their kids by Dr. Spock.

There is a big difference between essential government services and the kind of services that are offered in California. I used to travel to there between the late 1970's and late 1980's. What went on there always astounded me.

Unfortunately, when they decide to cut services, they usually cut essential services (such as street repair, maintenance of all types, police, fire, etc.) rather than the touchy-feely things they offer. That is what I could never understand.

Little appetite for taxes - Californians don't want services cut either, poll finds

This sort of title should be PRECEDED by a "Broken Rib Laughter" Alert/Advisory.

Of course, those of us in California are the most at risk because we know it's really
(and hilariously) accurate.

People in flyover country probably read this article and rationally surmise that
there must be LSD in public tap water and all the designer bottle water
sold in CA.

"Don't tax me and don't tax thee! Tax the fellow behind that tree!"

IMO the voters of California are irresponsible.

Californians are willing to tinker around the edges of Proposition 13: 57 percent said it would be all right to change the way commercial properties are taxed.

They just happened to slip that in there didn't they...

Kelly, can you post McClintocks stats on tax revenues since 1978 ?
