Question California governor signs budget relying on taxes

So what way will you be voting in november?

Quote:
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Gov. Jerry Brown signed a new budget for California on Wednesday that relies heavily on voters approving his proposed tax hikes in November.
Democrats passed 21 budget implementing bills on a majority vote intended to satisfy the governor's demand for deeper cuts to close a $15.7 billion deficit, and Brown signed the main bill in the courtyard of his Capitol office just hours before a midnight deadline.
His staff was expected to detail line-item vetoes Thursday.
"This budget reflects tough choices that will help get California back on track," Brown said in a statement. "I commend the Legislature for making difficult decisions, especially enacting welfare reform and across-the-board pay cuts. All this lays the foundation for job growth and continuing economic expansion."
The spending plan for the fiscal year starting July 1 includes welfare and social service cuts. It also assumes voters will approve Brown's tax hike on the November ballot.

Which party has been in control of both houses of the legislature for the past few decades?

If the state can't do anything good with the money they get from me in taxes now I am sure they can't do any better with more of it.

I wish we could check boxes on what we approve our tax money being spent on. Everyone is different and would want to pay for something else.

Do you have roads to drive on? Parks? Highway patrol? Wildlands firefighting? Educational institutions? Prisons to hold the bad guys? Do the mountain highways get plowed when the snow hits? .... ummm, I could go on.

I'm sure you can make fun of the way those departments are run and services rendered. I'm sure there is always room for a lot of improvement ... but the fact is: you are getting a lot of good for your money. You want better? Get involved in the processes.
