States of Seige

For California state government budget, it's the day of the locusts. If you're going to UCLA, bring hour own toilet paper. It all goes back to the infernal Prop 13, which deprives local governments of crucial revenue and requires the state to fill in. That plus the dumb tax and budget rules binding the state legislature have sent the state swirling down the toilet bowl. New York's new governor is poised to send the Empire State down the same road. And don't even get me started about NJ Governor Teletubby.
