Brown budget breaches Prop. 30 promise

Orange County Register (Opinion)
"We have wrought in just two years a solid and enduring budget," Gov. Jerry Brown declared in his State of the State address, Jan. 24. "Against those who take pleasure, singing of our demise, California did the impossible." Not really. In reality, Gov. Brown's budget increases unsustainable spending by relying on revenue that is unlikely to materialize and by simply ignoring most of the state's debt. It also violates promises Gov. Brown made to voters leading up to the November 2012 election.
