But it gets fixed when a Dem takes over. Jerry Brown fixed CAs solvency problem with multiple waves of tax increases after tax increase, as did Martin O Malley in Maryland.

But I see that is a 2012 figure. Didn't he raise scores of taxes in 2012 and last year?? (like the sales tax)

That state was in a dire fiscal situation when he took over ~ 2011, lots of spending and no tax increases to pay for it.

On June 27, 2013, Governor Jerry Brown signed a balanced budget (no deficit) for the state, its first in decades; however the state's debt remains at $132 billion
