The Hispanic Caucus in the California Legislature, according to Assemblyman John Campbell, had proposed tax increases of 20 billion dollars, which represents a 30% increase in taxes (higher property taxes, a new gross receipts tax on business, higher sin taxes, and of course higher income taxes). The public employee unions are going full blast to pursue their own initiative dumping the two thirds vote requirement in the legislature to get a budget and tax increases passsed in California. That initiative will be voted on when the Dem primary occurs next March, and the vote rolls are swelled with Dems.

Just a thought as to why it might be a good idea to have a GOP governor with a veto pen. Things could go bad, very bad, in this state, fast, very fast.

Of course, the GOP drones ala Simon, Issa will all be running, giving perhaps the inside lane to a Dem.

Be very afraid.

Agreed. We need to recruit Bill Clinton to register as a Republican and run because he could WIN here. All that matters is that a person who calls themself a Republican wins.

The SOS is about to certify the count. Davis didn't resign.

Do I get an admission, "OK, you were right," or something like that?
