The Republicans have been trashing California for the last six or seven years. They hate California being so heavily Democrat, and they are making sure to punish the state as much as they possibly can. That's just the kind of vindictive measures that repressive political groups use. You'll notice that the good old boys in Texas are making a packet. Prudy >> Seems to me this just may be a very good example of Democratic control over the government. Because the Democrats were so involved with supposed social problems of the minorities they were too busy to build more electric generating plants ... probably figuring that the rest of the country would bail them out if conditions became undesirable. I lived in Santa Clara for four months last year and I know from personal experience that they definitely collect enough taxes to keep the infrastructure in good shape (high sales tax and high State income tax). Now we can see if the Democrats can dig themselves out of the hole they've dug on their own, or if they will have to force the rest of the country to fill the gap with their dollars instead of California standing on it's own two feet. You would think they would be more forward looking and would have had zipperboy bail them out before he left office. You would also think they would take advantage of the very low interest rates and start building what they need right now instead of just taking about how to handle their manufactured crisis.
