Only the very wealthy need have gotten a small boost in property taxes. They could have easily afforded it. But no. Instead, Arnold (like Bush) just piles on the debt until he's out of office to let someone else worry about it. Also, no action from Bush-Cheney to get their energy cronym crooks to reimburse California for the some twenty billion gouged from us in 2000-2001. Instead of punishing the crooks, they praise them. Then even gave Enron's Ed Gillespie a big promotion to head the RNC.

AS, Buffett was right, about letting prop taxes on richest Californians go to paying off the Enron-Bushie driven deficit. Calif prop taxes on the rich are very low. Another one of your myths. If Ah-nuld listened to Buffett, property taxes would become extremely unaffordable to all BUT the wealthy. CA has gone into a slow decline. Eventually, it will have no choice but to raise property taxes. Over the past two decades, there has been some growth in industry and its still an important tourist destination. Those positives have masked the underlying problem.........CA's infrastructure is falling apart. Interesting article I read recently: Young California families going east seattletimes.nwsource.com
