State Tax Rebate
* Our infrastructure crumbles, our public buildings echo only long-gone civic pride, and our school system is a total disgrace. Gov. Gray Davis, please forget about my $150 income tax refund and reduced DMV fees. I’d rather live in a California that takes pride in creating opportunities for everyone: good education, parks, libraries, museums. I do not understand an outlook founded on scarcity at a time of great wealth. What is needed is leadership, not pandering; investment, not meaningless consumption. A government that fails its children forsakes its future.
