California hopes to close large deficit by cutting taxes for large corporations

Thanks to the bipartisan compromise being floated. Of course it'll only get a handful of Republican votes anyways. Republicans are such a joke. I was in favor of some sort of pragmatic compromise, but this is ridiculous.

I might support these tax cuts depending on how they interact with our deficit and our stimulus package, too lazy to look up

I'm pretty sure it would be better for the economy if the sales tax was increased by $1 billion less a year.

I think the legislature is still trying to pass a budget RIGHT NOW. Well, I guess it only makes sense that they'd be meeting at midnight on a weekend on Valentines Day when they're 7 1/2 months late.

See, the lack of compromise and the 2/3rds budget requirement (which is pre Prop 13) is really a problem. You just said a bunch of things that would piss of the left, but guess what, you said "REPEAL PROP 13". The Republican party is threatening to primary any member who even votes for one tax increase, so saying "REPEAL PROP 13" is like saying 'I'M A COMMUNIST MEMBER OF AL QAEDA" to them.

Still no budget. Our legislature is a total joke.

They could pass one if we were a normal state

True, the 2/3rds requirement is ridiculous. Well, not my fault, I was one of the 34.3% to vote for Prop. 56.

The California Republican party is bent on destroying California. Even this crappy plan was way too much compromise for them.

The stalemate continues.

Replacing Davis with Arnold is looking stupider and stupider by the day.
