Jerry Brown has other options

SACRAMENTO -- Gov. Jerry Brown on Wednesday defended the cuts and restructuring in his budget plan against attacks by mayors who say they will cost jobs.

With a projected deficit of $25 billion over the next 18 months, the state has no choice but to make deep spending cuts and extend temporary tax increases, Brown said during a news conference.

Disband the state with the intention of reforming multiple state boundaries. The  new states can operate  as territories until they are accepted by Congress.  Become the Moonbeam of old.  This is a big gain for California and sets a new standard for the nation.
