California is in such a huge crisis right now that they are cutting core services, including school teachers, firemen, prison guards, and policemen.
It is said to be a crisis of epic proportions, so bad in fact, that the Governator, Arnold has no choice he says.
Still, some creative folks have come up with a strategy to pay for all these core services and save California from sliding into an ocean of red ink.
There plan is quite simple and some say completely silly.
The Marijuana Growers Association and the personal consumption users who enjoy speaking out on this topic say that they wish to have pot legalized.
They say that the government can tax it, and those taxes will pay for the States' 23 Billion Dollar deficit.
Whereas, this might actually sound like a decent idea, some say they must be smoking something if they think that this is a solution to solving California's financial crisis.
However, even though the taxes raised from marijuana (if it were legalized) would not be enough to bring California's coffers up to full, some cities think that if they can tax medical marijuana usage they might make enough to at least replace the sales tax lost from all car dealerships that have closed.
This is laughable that our local leaders at the city levels would even entertain such a thing.
What needs to happen is better fiscal responsibility, better planning, and a rehab for city leaders and politicians that are addicted to spending our money unnecessarily on pet projects and nonsense.
Please consider this.
