RE: [californiadisasters] Cal Fire Cuts Staffing, DC-10 Supertanker

We’re not disagreeing on the system, but what happens if (when) the counties declare bankruptcy?  Some are or have been close already.

California is fundamentally broken.  As long as 50% + 1 can approve spending hikes, but 2/3 must approve tax hikes, the state will never again be financially stable.  The only other choice to handle rising costs of services is to push those services to the counties, where raising taxes to pay for those services is at least somewhere in the realm of possibility.

In other words, forcing the counties to pay more for the services they already have so the state can appear to be saving money (i.e. a shell game).
