Ok, so Cali residents now have a democratic super-majority in their HOR.

Not only that, Cali voters did the following;

1. Voters approved Proposition 30 "temporarily" increasing the state sales tax and income tax on individuals making over $250,000.

2. They voted against Proposition 31 that would allow the governor to cut the budget in fiscal emergencies.

3. They voted against Proposition 32 that would prevent unions from making campaign donations via members' dues

So if things get worse (or even REALLY, REALLY bad), only democrats can be blamed.

So get your popcorn folks and "Let's Watch California Fail"!

As Nikolai says, "We get what we deserve"

it's pretty much always been like that in CA

No, wrong, when they voted prop 13 in 1978 whcih limited property taxes it was the begging of what we see today. How can a state deliver services when they can only tax so much. Evan as a kid i thought this didn't add up.

Proposition 13 (officially named the People's Initiative to Limit Property Taxation) was an amendment of the Constitution of California enacted during 1978, by means of the initiative process. It was approved by California voters on June 6, 1978. It was declared constitutional by the United States Supreme Court in the case of Nordlinger v. Hahn, 505 U.S. 1 (1992). Proposition 13 is embodied in Article 13A of the Constitution of the State of California.[1]
The most significant portion of the act is the first paragraph, which limited the tax rate for real estate:

Section 1. (a) The maximum amount of any ad valorem tax on real property shall not exceed one percent (1%) of the full cash value of such property. The one percent (1%) tax to be collected by the counties and apportioned according to law to the districts within the counties.

Basically, a model of what the rest of the country will eventually look like.

Nope, Bush and every Republican will be at fault.

You make it sound as if california hasn't ALREADY been a mess until now.

That's some cute revisionism there, PR.

7+ years of Governor Hanz und Franz were magically excised in your post.

PR, why so glum? Don't you have anything positive to talk about? If I want nothing but bad news, I'll turn on CNN or listen to sports radio complaining that we didn't completely destroy the Bills yesterday.

If you look at WHY Cali is in trouble, it's due to SPENDING. Much of their troubles come from unfunded pension costs.

No one deserves a penstion over $100k/year....take a look at how many retired public sector workers are pain over $100k!

Take a look at the cost of what illegal immigrants are costing Cali residents!

Now maybe Cali republicans like to spend tax dollars too, I have no idea.

But now Cali has a democratic super-majority...so let's see how they handle this. I really don't think Cali residents can afford more taxes....guess we'll find out, huh?
