Why not go to all the Hollywood stars that live their. They all like playing politician,
so let them put their money where their mouth is. Warren Buffet loves paying taxes
he should be able to kick them over a few million. If your going to talk the talk,than
walk the walk. Hollywood screw the political fundraisers and help your neighbors if you
really care. That is the bottom line.

Almost everything in California must go before the voter – Initiative and referendum to the extreme. The politicians are window dressing. The problem is the people always vote for the benefits, but never vote to raise the money to pay for them. It is the number 1 reason why the state is such a mess – nothing can get done!!

Wow, wouldn’t it be great if we had a Leader in the White House the same ilk as Jerry Brown?

Oops, we do.
Never Mind.

Your first sentence states that California is the “largest state in America.” I think some other states would beg to differ. If it is the state with the largest debt, that would be typical of California leading the way.

California Governor Brown should take a few pointers from Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker. Make sure that government worker pay increases cannot exceed the rate of inflation. Unions need to win yearly votes to continue representing government workers, and should no longer be able to automatically deducted dues from government workers’ paychecks.

Maybe if Cali didn’t pander to the illegals with all those freebies they never paid into they wouldn’t need to slash education. That chicken is coming home to roost.
