re: Short quick fix for LA budget deficit

Tax in an of itself is not bad. That being said it is like enabling an alcoholic or a person with a shopping addiction. Spending cuts will hurt everyone but it has to be level set at some point and will only get worse if left unchecked.

The State also needs to demand more out of it's employees. It is near impossible to fire anyone, productivity/efficiency transparency should go down to the rank and file.
