“California doesn't have a budget problem — it has a spending problem! Tax and spend politicians in Sacramento continue to increase taxes to pay for their pet projects while taxpayers suffer. For example, Sacramento politicians continue to lament high gas prices while voting to INCREASE your gas tax!”
