#8  My girlfriend got money back from her CA state taxes already. I think last year they delayed giving money back.

#7  Apparently Cali's well-repor DEEP = SEVERE PUBLIC/BUDGET DEFICIT properly means they're still in the black, NOT the red.

#3  federal and voter mandates

Pity the voters and Federal government didn't say the location of the magic cave where the money for these mandates could be found.

#1  I live in Sacramento and see this upclose every day. Drive the roads, and see them in 3rd world condition. Home prices have cratered here as the state has cut civil service salaries 15%, and state contracts have all-but frozen. State purchases are at a standstill. State office buildings are being sold under fire sale conditions to raise small amounts of cash, even as we ransome future debt payments. All of this while the legislature tightens environmental controls on vehicles and businesses, adds taxes and fees, included a proposed internet sales tax on Amazon, and drives out business and retirees by the savage tax climate.

SO the answer to the uestion is.....Duh!
