The real estate tax needs to be looked at and redone, it's killing their tax revenue. When you have a large office building paying less real estate tax than a single family home on the same street, you have a major problem.

since the dems now have a supermajority in the state legislature, if they're going to reform prop 13 it will be soon.
I don't know why everyone thinks a state should split along what they consider "political lines". Kind of self defeating. And CA isn't like other states, you can't get what you want by splitting it up so it will never happen.
Places like Needles should be given to Arizona or at least Nevada IMHO. I live near Needles here in Bullhead and the people there rather drive 25 miles to our Wal-Mart than 100 miles to San Berdoo.
Keep your mittens off our land.
Kern county probably wants to go north if forced to divide.
I guess we'd have to haggle over who had to keep Bakersfield...
California is actually doing really well. This year's budget deficit was only $1.9 billion which was one of the smallest as a percentage of GDP of any of the states which had a deficit and even in 2009 and 2010 at the worst of the recession/budget issues it was only 25th out of 50 states as far as the size of the deficit vs GDP. The right wing blogs were simply lying and way over stating how bad it was which isn't surprising given how loose their grasp of reality is.
Heck, the state has been leading the country in new job growth for the last half year and all the economists are projecting it to continue to out perform the national average for next year. As usual the right wing nut jobs are completely clueless and their claims just had no basis in reality.
