Governor Brown can threaten cuts all he wants in his attempt to scare the voters. I suspect hardened, money-strapped voters will reject the Governor and his followers and reject these onerous tax increases
Here it comes more taxes needed in the Golden State
Here it comes… Democrat Governor Jerry Brown of California winds and throws his first pitch to the plate. In baseball parlance, it’s a wild pitch! Brown has proposed sweeping new taxes to “rescue” the Golden State from a financial black hole so deep, it defies the imagination. The financial gap from income to outflow exceeds $8 Billion. On a temporary basis, the Governor hopes voters will sign off on a November referendum to add a ½ cent increase on the already lofty 8.75% sales tax and to raise the highest levels of State income tax to extract more money from the so-called rich.
