The problem doesn't have just the 1 part(low tax revenue resulting in the states looking for other sources of revenue...i.e. the new taxes in the article.) The other important part is the demand for services doesn't reduce(because poor people keep making kids they can't afford to take care of.) If you want to get rid of those taxes in the article, the best way to do it is to reduce the numbers of poor people in your state. See, the reason you hear about California having so much trouble is because it's expensive to take care of the schooling, health clinics etc.etc. that comes with the increase in illegal aliens coming to California. You combine that with a poor economy(generating less tax revenue,) and the problem is out of control. Last thing this state needed was this idiot having a litter of 8. She's a taxpayer's nightmare.

You can move to Montana, for God's sake!
