"Lied" is not the word I would choose (not being totally forthcoming maybe is more like it, but McClintock is more forthcoming on money matters than the rest of field going away), but there will be tax increases next year, even if McClintock is governor. The odds of that are about 100%, absent an unanticipated stock market bubble, or laws in place that will allow California to borrow more money to tide it over (the chance of that being about 1%).

The key is whether the tax increases are short term or long term. That's it. Period.

Okay.... forthcoming it is..... LOL

But the point is that in your opinion there will be "TAX INCREASES" regardless of what Tom or Arnold say about no new taxes and cutting others..

You may well be correct. I just hope that CA can get the situation under control. It will and does impact the rest of the country....

Tom would likely wield the line item veto like a fiend.

"Balance the budget, you say? Ok, let's see here... ah yes, legislative salaries. GONE!" etc.
