This is good, just another step closer to bankruptcy. Someday the sheeple will wake up. I hope.

It also includes a semantically appealing solution to the issue of tax increases: About $2 billion in measures that add new money to the state treasury. Lawmakers have called these "revenue enhancements" to avoid calling them tax increases and appeal to Republicans and their constituents.

Too bad we can't come up with $2 billion in SPENDING CUTS. We can call 'em whatever the politicans want. Heck call 'em "revenue DEHANCEMENTS".

LOFL!!! Yeah, "Republicans and their constituents" - - taxpayers.

California is overrun with parasites, I would urge any decent traditional families still in California to get out now - - run, don't walk. FLEE!!!

During the afternoon, Assembly Speaker Herb Wesson said he had reached a deal with Assembly Republicans to pass a $99 billion state budget, two months late and just hours before the Legislature was set to end its session.
