Among options the teachers union and others propose are increasing top personal income tax rates, restoring motor vehicle fees to the level partly responsible for Gov. Gray Davis' recall, raising property taxes on nonresidential property, increasing corporate tax rates, imposing an oil production tax, adding taxes to tobacco and alcoholic beverages, imposing new sales taxes on services and admissions to entertainment and sporting events and a repeal of some business tax breaks. A plethora may be an understatement. How about the option of public employees foregoing raises? They never seem to want to share the burden during hard times.
