I loved my time in California. I benefited directly from the UC system while pursuing my PhD at Berkeley. However, it will be a while before I go back there, if at all.
This post from NRO and linked by Instapundit says it all. How can a state as wealthy as California, with taxes among the highest in the US, have such fiscal problems?
I suspect it is unnecessary spending. And that's what needs to be looked at.
