I voted 3-4 years, before the GOP mess in the Golden State is finally fixed. Thanks, Governor Brown!
You have never defined this alleged "GOP mess".
Are you unaware that throughout Schwarzenegger's term and for a good time before that, both the state Assembly and Senate were controlled by the Democrats?
They are the cause of our state fiscal crisis.
You are just upset that your man Gray Davis was recalled - a process in which for I am proud to say that I contributed.
Here in Los Angeles County - I had people begging me to remain onsite until they clocked out of work - so that they could sign the recall petition.
The recall was a true movement of the people - whom were disgusted with Democratic policies and economic stagnation.
So- tell us -exactly "how" did the GOP cause a "mess".

(CNN) -- Over the past weekend, Gov. Jerry Brown of California took to the safety of YouTube to reveal that the Golden State's budget deficit is now $15.7 billion, far greater than the original $9.2 billion estimate in January.
California state taxes, already some of the highest in the nation, brought in an anemic 20% less revenue than expected in April, causing California's deficit to nearly double in only four months. On Monday, Brown released a revised budget plan. California Dreamin' it may be better known as.
Brown's budget calls for new spending cuts, to which state workers have yet to agree; even higher taxes, at which voters may balk; and rosy revenue assumptions, which already came up massively short in April.
A Series of Spending Scandals
The summer of 2012 brought the disclosure of pay raises to hundreds of legislative staff members, many already making six figures. In a bigger setback, state parks administrators acknowledged that employees kept a budget surplus of nearly $54 million hidden even as the park system faced cutbacks and dozens of closings.
Such missteps — along with Mr. Brown’s support of a $68 billion high-speed rail project at a time when the state supposedly does not have money for schools — show why democrats are just now up for the job
If he doesn't offend half your population with Proposition 187, the state doesn't turn blue.
Funny how Republicans always forget about that, isn't it.
How did Prop 187 cause the fiscal crisis that the state of California is now experiencing?
If it had lost - then we would be in much worse shape.
Sorry - but most Hispanics that I know ( I do speak and understand Spanish) are conservatives.
(watches your mind blow).
