"Or take money from universities?"
Well, maybe Gov. Brown is on to something (albeit he feels it's quippy sarcasm.)
Yes, Guvnah, reducing costs is the answer. How about you kick in your share by reducing your pay to zero, closing down the state guvment for 364 days a year, moving your office to a 10'x10' storage unit, and cutting your staff to one bleached blonde assistant in a mini skirt. I think Ted Turner's reject Jane might be available.

The state and its infrastructure is riding a razors edge. Ignored maintenance and shadowy opaque
Fixes are the norm , the've got to educate, feed, house, and heal all the illegal aliens. Browns tactics are a copy of his daddy who would lie to get his lootiing agenda http://calcoast.org/oroville-dam-upda... . Well, the illegals can vote for food and amnesty and get away with breaking the law.
They are extremely vulnerable to many natural disasters and many avoidable potential disasters being ignored.
Not to mention the disaster that is called Gov. Brown

Let California float free on its own. no federal subsidies. I will be happy to never go there again.

Why are Californians complaining? They're getting what they voted for i:e: Jerry Brown.

Mitch, be very careful about moving just to the other side of a city. I'm in the socialist republic of New York. Here, if you live in Connecticut, New Jersey, Vermont, or Pennsylvania and work in either the city or the surrounding counties, you pay NYS taxes for your JOB in the state. And somehow that passed legal muster! My wife moved to TEXAS and still had to pay NYS taxes because her employer was in NYS!! Why I live here now is complicated but the sorriest part of my life. Communist haven't died, they just turned democrat.

California is coming apart at the seams. This has been building for years. When my grandparents lived in Long Beach, they wanted me to move in and get free college out there.Yeah, campus hippies and flower power morons, I stayed int he heartland. It was free everything back then. Now, Brown's answer is to criticize working people? Hey, you are the one to wnat s more illegals on welfare, and provided with free lawyers as well! Did you ever get Big Sur put back together? Maybe if you would stop following UN Agenda 21people could afford housing and food. Your state has plowed under hunderds of miles of rural roads to force population density, resulting in higher housings costs. Wait until the big earthquake comes, maybe it is time your retired before you have that to deal with.

Californians will flee to Az(where I live) and try to turn this state into another socialist state.If I had my way I would set up an armed border crossing to turn them away, not in my Arizona. Tell the Cali's either go further west, that's right into the ocean! If they don't want to drown I give them a map to to the other socialist states Oregon or Washington!

And why not take $ from universities? Education
is not a legitimate function of government (except
police academies, military training, etc.) The proper purpose of government is to protect man (that Includes women and children; I am somewhat old-fashioned with my grammar) against force (including fraud) and violence, and punish same.--I am glad I do not live there. Virginia taxes enough, though it's vastly better than certain other states. (And I don't feel good about being on Social Security and living in public housing now, but I am trying to get a job, and actually have a hope of getting one by the end of the week).

This has been around for a couple days now, I have seen it in several facebook posts so it is getting some much needed light, in case anyone suspects the news source here is a second one, just so you can be assured Jerry Moonbeam is indeed a looting AHole:

Wasn't there a book written once about doublespeak? Where hate = love, war = peace, extortion = freeloaders? The problem is this man has not been roundly rejected and I don't mean waiting for the next opportunity to vote. Until the general populace starts ignoring these fools instead of subjugating themselves to the 'leaders' it will never end. The right to complain about being hanged because you have the right to free speech might prove that you can say what you want but if you are still going to be hanged for breaking the rules of the communist state free speech has no value.

Yeah, it's a mess out here...

Believe me, if a decent candidate who will cut spending ever runs for Brown's seat, I'll do my part by donating to him/her, as I have in the past.

The silver lining is that Brown gets termed out in 2018.
