I live in California and its not really the Governors fault guys. He's always trying to push through budget reforms and fails miserably every time.
California's legislature is controlled 2/3 by Democrats, who have socialistic tendencies. But they are even more far left than most Democratic assemblymen in other states. Together with the unions they have run this state into the ground. The problem is people here keep voting for the same people who then turn around and literally rob them blind. There is a huge gulf politically between the north and the south. The south is more conservative while the north and bay area (where I live) more liberal. Most democratic legislators come from the north.
Unfortunately for them the patience of the rich who live here and pay the bulk of taxes may be running thin. State government revenue is down 34% and it can't all be attributed to the economy.
Tax teh rich, lose teh rich.
