I was reading about this briefly this morning. What I found interesting is that Cali legislators admitted that their income tax early concept was a short term goal that did nothing to solve budget problems that would come up again in the following year. I found that interesting. People would actually support a legislature that admitted it only looks out until about 10 months down the road.
