LA Pols "celebrate" the passage of the shady transit tax measure R and think we can get a subway to Westwood in twenty years or so.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger called today for a temporary 1.5-cent increase in the state sales tax to help close an $11.2 billion deficit in the state budget, as well as new taxes on liquor and oil production.
Schwarzenegger also proposed one-day-a-month unpaid furloughs for state workers for the next 17 months, as well as rescinding two of the workers' 13 paid holidays
In calling the Legislature into special session to deal with the deficit, Schwarzenegger said it was vital for legislators to act swiftly.
"In the six weeks since I signed our last budget, the mortgage crisis has deepened, unemployment has increased and the stock market has lost almost 20 percent of its value," Schwarzenegger told a news conference. "We have drastic problems that require drastic and immediate action - we must stop the bleeding right now." and the quote
Anyone who has played SimCity knows what happens when you raise taxes.
Arnold needs to cut some of his 'stravagances.
Michael, I've played Monopoly and I can tell you first hand what happens at the end of that game!
What happened Jack did you mortgage all your properties?
Well, I did have Boardwalk and Park Place, but instead of putting in hotels, I put in affordable housing, and uh, yeah, that's not how you win Monopoly.
Was there any transit oriented development?
Nah, didn't think of that. But at least we all had Free Parking...
