Tabs, you've hit one nail on the head AFAIC. In order to curb the outside state sales to CA, all we need is a national sales tax. It could be low and lightly affect the low state, or no state sales tax areas. But, the proceeds would benefit all states.

Beyond that, we need to enforce the fact that sales tax IS due on all sales to CA from other states. The CA resident is supposed to file and pay. Not likely this is going to be an easy job to collect those taxes, but if we did, there would be no need for the bond or the tax increase. And it would bring CA dollars back to CA.
