Reporting from Sacramento -- A surge in revenue has prompted Gov. Jerry Brown to scale back his proposal for more taxes, even as his administration on Friday announced its intention to close 70 state parks.
Officials familiar with Brown's plans said the revised budget he presents Monday will propose raising income tax rates on Californians for four years rather than the five he initially wanted. The higher rate would not take effect until 2012.LA Times
The Republicans beat him on this issue. I don't think the unexpected revenue is real, I think it is a bit of inflation working through, and when the inflation works into next years budget, we will be in much worse shape.
