Prop 13 was and is simplistic and causes a number of problems

- However, the state of California has been able to get revenue from income and sales taxes to generate per capita revenue close to that of Massachusetts and New York.

all 2007 numbers

per capita state government revenue

New York $3,250
Massachusetts $3,195
California $3,154

Winters are milder in most of California, and this will reduce the cost of government for building heating, snow removal, and road repair.

>>> What does California state government need to do beyond what New York and Massachusetts do ? <<<

The answer is nothing.

Unless you think California should move even further down the road to socialism and attempts at wealth redistribution than New York and Massachusetts.

California should live within it means.

By the way, what do you mean by "social system" ?
Would you say Texas has a good social system ?
