Of course, the cash will continue to flow for services for illegals and SEIU benefits and pensions.

“... politically powerful public employee unions. ...
pressing the legislature to pass a bill that would require local governments to get the approval of a state board before filing for bankruptcy. Since the board could be stacked with union-friendly appointees, bankruptcy pleas could be rejected or delayed.”

I don’t know how successful they were but the Gov’t worker unions in California were trying to jam a law through the legislature making municipal bankruptcy very difficult

“You don’t have the easy out of increasing revenue and you have a lot more call on services because of the economy,” Street said.
At least they understand that raising taxes can actually reduce tax revenue.

Municipal bankruptcy really isn’t such a bad idea.

I have long wondered why California municipalities have not yet declared bankruptcy. Doing so would void all the out of control labor contracts and allow the municipalities to simply terminate, en masse, most municipal employs and then start restructuring the towns and cities. Oh, wait. The mayors and "leaders" of those municipalities are the ones who tried to buy voters from municipal unions using taxpayer monies so they aren't likely to take that route...unless it is forced upon them.

California's solution:
(1) Outlaw public unions
(2) Kick out the illegals/deny illegals benefits and employment
(3) Drill off-shore
(4) Hire outside firm to cut the size of state government
(5) Abolish state income and corporate taxes and switch to a universal 10% sales tax with no deductions or credits
(6) Privatize Cal-Medicaid and give vouchers to recipients

Finally....the unions have the state by the throat. Goodness knows the voters don’t care. Perhaps a bankruptcy judge can fix it. (shudder)

The overpaid bureaucrats just cut the newest members of the union. Antioch is a blue collar town that is now a killing zone of blacks and Mexicans...
Liberals and unions at the controls for years, this is the ending.
