no argument with that Justice But the fact is, low taxes mean low services. Do California residents understand that? Because if they don't, there is a default on the horizon. Are you local- remember the flap a few months ago about that satellite campus of UC Med closing.... who was battling to keep it open, the young, high taxpayers? NOPE. What about the library closure issue, who is battling to keep these libraries open? Not the tech workforce, we don't need libraries, we have the internet to replace them. Keep one or 2 "super libraries" like SF open and close the rest, fine. Oh wait- the elderly and soccer moms need libraries, and how much taxes did those folks pay last quarter? I am all for shutting services down, since I don't use too many. The wailing I hear from long time homeowners whenever some sacred cow service like libraries comes up is laughable though. Too bad there is no way to do a pay-as-you-go on those. Shut down all services for anybody over 18 and I'll be happy.
