Spoken like a true liberal! :)
Yep, when it gets to the point of people trying to pay license fee's early to avoid the tax, there is some serious trouble within a government. It can't go on this way for California, something is going to break and I hope that when it does it isn't a national issue but just a state issue to contend with.
Check out Senator McClintock's site. I have been checking it out from time to time and the Senator appears to have a good handle on whats going on in CA and is very well spoken in his way of conveying his concerns for the state of CA and "Gray out".
