DUMP DAVIS
Not in the history of all of human civilization has there ever been a "temporary" tax increase.
What makes anyone think this yutz is going to come through on that promise?
Very sneaky of Gray Davis. The car tax is not paid on a set date for everyone, but on the anniversary of the car purchase. This would mean that on the average, Gray Davis would only upset a small portion of the voting public. Maybe not even phase the car tax in until well after the elections.
I would half-way like to see Davis win a second term.
Few in the country are going to truly understand the evils and flaws of liberalism unless a state like Cali plows into the dirt.
Gee, what a shock.
That money was supposed to be used for health care costs to the state, not for the general fund. The state will still have to pay for some future health care for smokers, but how are we supposed to finance that, Mr. Davis?
What a lie. We didn't have any tax cuts that weren't reversed, other than the vehicle license fee reduction. There should have been far more tax cuts instead of the generous spending when there was a surplus.
Davis is a liar. I heard a segment of his announcement today, and he said that a deficit of $20 billion would have been okay without tax increases, but that $24 Billion was too much. Why not just cut another $4 Billion? After all, he increased government by over $20 Billion in the last three years.
SIMON STATEMENT ON MAY BUDGET REVISE
LOS ANGELES - Gubernatorial nominee Bill Simon released the following statement in response to Governor Gray Davis' proposed budget revision:
"Upon initial review, I am extremely disappointed in the governor's May Revision to the budget."
"The governor seeks to blame everyone but himself for the state's current fiscal crisis. His new budget makes everyone but himself pay, when the taxpayers know it was his gross mismanagement that put the state in this position.
"For three years, Governor Davis spent our tax dollars like there was no tomorrow. Now tomorrow has arrived, and all Californians are going to suffer because the governor was too busy fundraising to provide the leadership and make the tough decisions that would have prevented this crisis from growing out of control.
"I have said that a responsible budget would meet three criteria:
"First, no tax increases, second, protect public education and public safety, and third, that it address the long term structural flaws in the budget by avoiding placing too much of this deficit on the backs of future budget years.
"Regrettably, the governor's new plan fails all three tests, and the governor's mismanagement will be paid for by future generations of Californians."
CUT SPENDING, Sacramento--It's OUR money, not yours!!!
California Legislature Orders Davis Hospitalized
By Benjamin Franklinstein
SACRAMENTO - As California plunged into another round of power blackouts this week, and with the state's short-term power bill nearing $4.2 billion, state representatives passed emergency legislation that would require the bill be paid from Governor Davis' personal fortune. In addition, state lawmakers invoked an obscure 100-year-old lunacy statute allowing them to have a governor institutionalized when that governor's policies are "clearly insane."
Lawmakers began discussing the possibility of invoking the lunacy statute after Davis insisted on keeping secret the details of his plans to acquire power. "I think we all got lulled into a little complacency a few weeks ago when the governor was making all these warm and fuzzy comments about how everything would be just fine," said Assemblyman Ima Phool, D-Berkley. "But once we got a look at his secret plans, we knew something had to be done."
Governor Davis' secret plan called for the state to purchase 50 million electric eels from Brazil. Davis had been telling lawmakers that he had worked out a deal that would meet California's energy needs to "infinity and beyond," but refused to tell anyone how.
Democratic lawmakers remain hopeful that Governor Davis' sanity will be restored and he will return to the Capitol triumphant.
"I'm the eternal optimist," said Sen. Auntie Belham, D-Palo Alto, "But healing the mind of Gray Davis will be a formidable challenge."
Ah well, so much for California Dreaming.
