I don’t get the point of increasing taxes if we don’t cut spending. And CA is a bloated as a porky pig.

You don’t call the elimination of redevelopment districts and the billions of tax dollars they suck down a spending cut?[/quote]
If they are eliminating things from the budget for things that were over-budgeted the future, then it isn’t really a cut. To be a cut, you have to spend less next year than you did last year.
So, if you spent $100 last year, and next year to plan on spending $150, then you change your mind and only spend $120, you don’t get to call it a $30 cut. That is a $20 spending increase.
