The measures would generate billions in revenue for a state rocked by recession and cuts to education and public services in recent years.

More California delusion ...

Mitch Zak is delusional. The lefties will vote for all the new taxes. Of course, fewer businesses will stay in CA & their tax revenues will plummet, thereby making the budget situation worse. But will the lefties learn? No.

Unfortunately, we have our own lefties here in OR with the same game plan in mind.

This is very interesting to watch.

Kali’s death spiral continues and the spiral gets tighter.

My sympathy to all FReepers living in CA. May you soon see a way out of this mess.

I used to know a fellow who built a small, fishing lure mfg. company. It operated out of his basement in NY. It advertised and sold on the web. (he has since moved to larger quarters in a different state) When CA started with all its “possible carcinogenic” labeling laws and other hazardous material nonsense, he simply stopped selling to customers in that state. All the hoops he had to jump through were just not worth it financially.

I wonder what would happen to CA’s projected windfall of tax revenues if other, out-of-state businesses did the same?
