Onky $54M? For a state economy that large I am impressed. In Ontario our deficit is far greater and our economic output and civil liberties is grossly inept in comparison. We are running a near $2B a year deficit, Cali MUST be more than $54M man.

After years of budget surpluses, California headed toward $22.5B deficit

On Tuesday, Gov. Newsom announced California likely won't collect enough money in taxes to pay for all of its obligations, leaving a $22.5 billion hole in its budget.

Why would they complain?
Why would you say such a stupid thing when here in Pa. we have the highest gas tax @ 57 cents a gallon. we also have more miles of road than all of the New England states combined, including NY.

Are you sure it is millions and not billions?

Because they have the most debt of any state in the Union and it in the tens of billions.

Yea, right sue the companies that are providing the energy to the state. What could possibly go wrong?

They are so stupid. If I were Big Oil I would immediately cut off all oil and gas to the state.

You would find yourself jobless. I`m not a fan of coal mining but I've never considered having my electricity shut off.

You are saying that California grows and produces 28% of the food consumed. Or the free money that they make from their ports taking in products from the world producers is the reason. And since they are eco green all of the artificial crop areas that are not of nature with water piped in that grows food must be removed and put back to original ways.

No they grow or produce 5-10 + % (used to be 30% ) the rest arrives at its ports or in by Air or through by rail
