“Without structural reform to fix California’s broken budget system, this budget is a mix of tax schemes and band aids that only delays the inevitable,” said Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich.  “To address the state’s $20 billion deficit and prevent bankruptcy, the following structural reforms are needed to get California back on track: 

• The elimination of unnecessary, and consolidation of state agencies with duplicative responsibilities.
• Stop spending above inflation and population growth
• A two-year budget
• A part-time legislature
• An end to term limits
• Bringing our civil service system into the 21^st Century
