San Diego County tells Sacramento not to expect counties to
bail out the State via increased local sales taxes.

               ------------------------

State Assembly Speaker Herb Wesson came to San Diego yesterday
hoping the county Board of Supervisors would support a five-year,
half-cent-on-the-dollar sales-tax increase to help fill a $38 
billion state budget deficit. 

What the Culver City Democrat got instead was a recommendation from
board Chairman Greg Cox to have the state file for bankruptcy. 

"I thought I had heard it all," Wesson said after Cox floated the idea. 

Supervisor Dianne Jacob said, "The state is bankrupt, so why not
admit it? Why would taxpayers support raising taxes when there is
no plan in place to fundamentally change the way the state does
business?"
