Wow! TK, is this true? Should these taxes be raised to this extent, will it hurt Brown as it did with Gray Davis and Arnold Schwarzenegger, or is CA so far gone it really doesn't matter?
ZitatFaced with a massive failure on the state’s part to pay out pensions to public servants, California Governor Jerry Brown has opted to do what Democrats do best: raise taxes. The targets this time are gas and vehicle registration, which are expected to go up by 42% and 141% respectively. After 9 years of taxes going up by 50% in the state, it is obvious that this will do nothing but irritate Californians even further as they are penalized for Sacremento’s inability to get its act together.

A bogey man like cigarettes. Gas is a tax cow in CA like cigarettes are here in New England.
California-based Tesla will certainly appreciated this boost.

Yes that was a very popular and accurate moniker for our State, moreso in the 70's & 80's.
We developed this habit of electing more fiscally responsible Republican Governors every now and then, to offset the voracious spending habits of our elected D-party credit babies, I mean representatives.
