Is anyone else fed up with sales tax increases? Increases are always guised
as a "temporary" increase to deal with quake damage or whatever, only to be
made permanent later. Now the 1/2 precent hike from the SF quake relief
effort goes to law enforcement. Geez, what did law enforcement do before
the tax hike? Then again, I've seen no improvement among the police. The
extra money coming in from the sales tax has probably given gov't an excuse
to divert an equal amount of money from the previous law enforcement budget
to elsewhere. Now if some ballot measure dares to try to cut the 1/2 cent
hike, CA will claim that it doesn't have the money to make up the differnece
not to mention the Police unions which will make it a "keep the tax to keep
our streets safe PC" issue. CA is broke. Split the state up or drop CA
statehood all together and turn it back into a US territory until it can
be managed properly.
