Our State...Our Principles...Our Future

Did you know that the state of California is still slated to bring in approximately $84 billion in the current fiscal year? And did you know, that this is more revenue than any other state? Yet we still hear from many in Sacramento that we have a revenue problem. This is exactly where our revenues were a few short years ago, so I think the problem is a spending problem, not other claims they are making.

These are things we never hear about and should, the taxpayers deserve this information and deserve to be more informed prior to voting. Yes there is responsibility on voters to seek this information. But the government needs to stop avoiding these topics and hiding the realities of their ever growing appetite for spending money. All they do right now is propose alternatives that scare us, instead of getting to the root of the problem.

The good people at the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association articulate this very well here:
