Gov. Gray Davis gestures while answering a question about the state's looming budget deficit at a Capitol news conference on Tuesday.

Gov. Gray Davis said Tuesday he will lay out midyear budget cuts "substantially higher" than the $5 billion he proposed two weeks ago.

I happened to notice that allowing ILLEGAL ALIENS to attend CA universities while only paying in- state tuition fees never came up.

Guess that 10k/year loss to the state times a few thousand students doesn't really count for anything.

Senate Republican leader Jim Brulte of Rancho Cucamonga introduced a plan to reduce the capital gains tax on commercial property. He said that would stimulate sales and drive up property tax revenues as the parcels of property were reassessed at higher levels.

Don;t hold your breath waiting on this one!

Assembly Republican leader Dave Cox of Fair Oaks suggested that the state try to renegotiate long-term leases.

Good idea in theory, but in practice, I see it working more like: "we'll pay you .00001 cents per square foot for the next 6 years (till we're safely out of office), then $10,000 per square foot after that for 30 years." In other words, paper over the problems of the present by borrowing from the future. There aren't enough Republicans in the legislature to keep the process under control once it's under way.
