lifornia Is Broke - 19 Reasons Why It May Be Time For Everyone To Leave The State Of California For Good

OK, disagree on the tax revolt being harmful. CA made up for proposition 13 many times over, in other taxes. And what would Sacramento have done with the extra money, anyway that would be of lasting value.

As for nuclear power, I moved to CA in 1987 to participate in the re-start of the Ranch Seco nuclear power plant. Then, in 1989 the voters decided to shut it down, despite the fact that the plant recovered and was operating at 100% power.

So now they want electric cars without the electrons, and lavish pensions without a private sector to pay for them.

I moved to Colorado in 2008.

“$14 billion may not seem like much”

It would only leave their deficit at - $5 billion from - $19 billion. $14 billion sounds like a pretty good chunk to me.

The problem is we had mad people in charge of the state treasury who were spending far more than they were taking in. Rather than live modestly on what they had, they spent more on their government unions and welfare in exchange for a vote to keep their party in control. Now we are hurting form that.

Also, LAWSUIT and LAWYER reform. They should be seeing a depression through major tort reform IMO.

And I hear Kentucky is second. Kinda weird.
