The good thing is that employment is turning the corner, and will very likely be growing by mid-year, so more income tax revenue. Consumer spending is coming back, so more sales tax revenue. Housing prices are rising, so property tax revenue will stabilize. We are in an economic recovery, so just try not to illegally park in any handicapped spaces for awhile.

Wife's handicapped!

They raised the sales tax 1/2 a cent we're damn near 10cents on the $1.00

I was told that this has caused a ton of people who would never cheat on tax to buy items out of state to save a buck.

They're boiling us frogs slowly here. I'm a firm beliver in prop 13 ( It freezes your tax at the rate that you bought your home. If you paid $300,000 for your home in 1996 and it went up to $750,000 in 2010 there's zero reason to tax you 1.5 x more.) It's save a ton of people from being taxed out of their home.
