One of the reasons this state is going down the tubes to be sure. One of the worst bodies of legislatures starting from the top doesn't help. When factoring in population growth and inflation over past 2 years, we have about a 21% increase in people. Our genuisses of both parties, including the most corrupt and dispicable governor is many years, has increased spending by over 40%. And they wonder why California is broke. So Davis illegally triples the car tax, knowing it is illegal, but also knowing it will take years to wind through court and for people to get refunds. This is one sick state. We have no budget in place, and tomorrow, some people stop getting paid. Dems push for taxes on anything and everything to raise money; Repubs refuse to approve any tax increases. They are at a stalemate.
