LOL. Most business hostile state to raise taxes further on businesses. Yeah, that will help. You can almost hear the sound of businesses closing up and moving to Texas.

Like you, all I heard about was the CA budget surplus and government spending like water as a result.

This ends badly.

Why would there be a debt? That was paid for via employment taxes.

Now, employers will see an automatic tax increase to start paying off the debt

To California Democrats, this is a win-win. Big corporations will be OK. Small businesses will be too broke to donate to Republicans.

And just like that, everyone else in America paid California’s debt.

Gee, since it’s 20 billion and they dug it, give everyone a spork and let ‘em get to work right now. It’s sort of like digging your own grave in reverse.

https://fox40.com/inside-california-politics/state-budget-surplus-could-exceed-projection-by-billions/“...Gov. Gavin Newsom proposed using $3 billion of the state’s projected $21 billion surplus to take a bite out of that debt...”

Hmmmm....

Thought the surplus was twice that:
Gov. Gavin Newsom said in his January budget presentation his administration was forecasting a $45 billion budget surplus, but a recent update from the Legislative Analyst Office shows it could be billions more than that.
