California collected just $7.34 billion in personal income tax payments in April, putting further stress on the state's budget.
The state controller's office said the collections in April were down from $13 billion a year earlier. About a quarter of all income tax revenue is collected in April, the agency said.
In addition, the dismal April means the state is falling behind the revenue forecasts incorporated into the budget deal adopted by the Legislature in February.

Well gee, it must be WE THE PEOPLE’S fault.It can’t be how the state is run!
California is so far into the red, they had to create a new spectrum for it. It’s called “California RED”
down down down
And just wait when the special election happens in a few weeks. They will ALL get shot down and those slap d*cks up in Sac town will throw their hands up in the air and accuse US. People are fed up with this crap here and that’s why they are leaving.
Ouch!
The parasitic CA legislature and their State Worker Union enablers will view this as another reason to raise taxes.
Wow. We didn’t see THAT coming! Tax collections always go up each year because they always have in the past. (/sarc)
C’mon folks your’re not doing your part!
Last person to leave CA won’t need to turn out the lights. There won’t be any power anyway.
Time for some heavily armed Democrat extraction squads to head to other states and bring back all of those scofflaw ex-residents who thought they could defeat the Glorious Revolution by moving away. :)
LOL! I hate some of those old dopey hippie songs from the 1960s. A lot of the talentless hippie dope smoking “music” crap came out of Cal.
This song sure fits though. I think the public workers unions need raises and more endless benefits for illegals. Sadly it will get worse and worse and people will still vote for liberals.
What will the parasites do when the host dies? Look for a new host, the Feds.
CA put a hold on sending out refund checks didn’t they? It’s only fair for those that owe, to file as many extensions as they can legally file.
I feel another $5 trillion Obama stimulus package coming to bail out MexiFornia.
Sadly you could have nuclear winter and these morons would keep voting Dem.
Raise taxes. Lose revenue. Lower taxes. Increase revenue.
Simple as that. Dems will never learn.
Those people getting refunds are evil and greedy like bondholders.
Sadly our “leadership” is McCain and Romney with the RINO Bush clan waiting in the wings to “save us.”
As usual, the only people who are surprised are the clueless CA politicians.
Simple solution: Raise taxes and fees. There, done.
