The feds are going to force the prisoner release because of the overcrowding. Another good move would be to sell San Quentin and allow that land to be developed. It would easily bring enough money to build another prison someone out in the boonies, like Kern County, and have enough left over to make a serious dent in the budget deficit.
Another immediate help would be to divert the Federal stimulus money from all the feel good projects into a serious fix for the water shortage. Solar powered desalination, towing an iceberb down from the arctic, rebuilding the levees for better flood control. Lots of potential that would prevent the loss of jobs and crops. Much better use of funds than doorknobs and duck ponds.
